BETHLEHEM, (PIC)
Israeli occupation forces (IOF) demolished on Thursday morning a Palestinian house in the village of al-Walaja, northwest of Bethlehem in the West Bank.
Local sources reported that the IOF stormed the Ein Juwaizah area in the village of al-Walaja and began knocking down a house owned by the Palestinian citizen Basem Abed Rabbo under the pretext of lacking a construction license.
According to the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, Israeli settlers carried out in August alone 204 attacks against Palestinians and their properties in the occupied West Bank, including Jerusalem, resulting in the martyrdom of two citizens in the towns of Jit, east of Qalqilya, and Wadi Rahhal in Bethlehem.
Since the outbreak of the Israeli war of genocide in Gaza on October 7, 2023, Israeli attacks carried out by armed settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank have escalated, amid intensified Israeli military campaigns in its cities, towns, and camps.
