Israeli police forces escorting bulldozers stormed Rafat town in the northwest of Occupied Jerusalem and demolished five commercial and sports facilities belonging to Palestinian citizens.
According to Jerusalemite sources, police forces cordoned off the area where the facilities were located before bulldozers embarked on carrying out the demolitions, without prior notice.
Two soccer fields and one photography park were among the structures demolished today in the town.
Recently, the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) has threatened to demolish many homes and facilities in Rafat town at the pretext of unlicensed construction.
In a separate incident, the IOA demolished today a greengrocer’s store belonging to a Jerusalemite citizen in Qalandia town.
In the northern Jordan Valley, the Israeli occupation army seized five water pumps, three power transformers, and 30 solar panels in al-Deir hamlet belonging to local residents.
A local farmer said that about 600 dunums of land planted with grapevines and corn were rendered without a water source after the Israeli army confiscated the equipment.
