This paper examines the use of demolition and sealing of houses of Palestinians as punitive and/or deterrent measures by the Israeli military authorities in the occupied West Bank. Since May 1985, intensified use of these measures have been made by the Israeli authorities, who argue that these actions are permitted both under local and international law. The paper considers and responds to these arguments.
