About 150 Israeli left-wing activists launched a campaign to rebuild Palestinian homes in the Hebron hills destroyed by the Israeli army for having been illegally built.
Activists said a handful of Palestinian families have been living in tents supplied by the International Red Cross.
"The situation can no longer carry on," said Yoel Marshek of the Kibbutz Movement. He said activists plan to build seven new structures on the rubbles of the destroyed homes.
He added that activists have been coordinating their activities with the police and the Israeli army to prevent frictions with settlers.
Mashek said a Defense Ministry official will visit the site to discuss the army's home demolition practice with the activists.
