West Bank hamlet turns to Europe as last hope
The Palestinian residents of Khan al-Ahmar cling to hopes that international pressure can save their strategically located West Bank hamlet from Israeli army bulldozers.
After the West Bank hamlet lost its last legal protection against demolition late last week, Israeli forces could tear down the tiny desert community's few dozen shacks and schoolhouse made from recycled tires.
Some hold out hope that Israel might be deterred by an inevitable international outcry over razing the community.
