Statistics on punitive house demolitions
On 17 February 2005, the Minister of Defense announced a cessation of punitive house demolitions. From October 2001 (when house demolitions as punishment began again after a break of almost four years) to January 2005, Israel demolished 668 homes in the Occupied Territories as punishment.

In addition, the IDF partially demolished two homes (one in Dec. 2001 and one in July 2002), and sealed three houses (in Jan. 2003). In Feb. 2002, the IDF began demolishing another home during the arrest of a suspect, and the demolition was completed after the individual left the house, apparently as a punitive measure.
The statistics on this page relate only to houses demolished on a punitive basis.
