Israeli forces have displaced at least 43 United Nations-registered refugees in a "large-scale demolition" of Bedouin homes and structures in the occupied West Bank, according to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA).

Among the buildings destroyed in the West Bank's Anata village were seven homes, four animal shelters and four outdoor washrooms, UNRWA spokesman Chris Gunness said in a statement on Wednesday.

Seven Palestinian families comprised of 43 people, including 25 children, were displaced by the demolitions, Gunness said.
