Israel Demolishes House Near Bethlehem

The Israeli occupation forces demolished a house in the town of Tuqu’, southeast of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank, Thursday morning, under the pretext of being built without a permit.

Local sources reported that the occupation forces began demolishing a two-story house, each floor measuring 200 square meters, in the Khirbet al-Deir area. The house belonged to Ali Mahmoud Suleiman.

The sources added that the occupation forces completely closed off the area, preventing residents from accessing the demolition site or moving around it.

The occupation authorities continue to implement their policy of demolishing Palestinian homes and structures in the West Bank, particularly in Area C, under the pretext of building without a permit. This is occuring while Palestinians face severe restrictions that prevent them from obtaining building permits, according to Palestinian and international human rights organizations as reported by Snd news agency.
