* As indicated to B’Tselem. This column refers to the family that was living, or was about to live, in the house that was demolished.

** This column refers to the number of persons who were living, or were about to live, in the house that was demolished.

*** The estimates of family members who gave testimonies to B’Tselem.

# In Frush Beit Dajan, the houses demolished were mainly light structures serving as the permanent residence of Palestinian Bedouins. Since these structures are their permanent and sole housing, B'Tselem considers them residential dwellings for every purpose.
