IOA closes Palestinian house in prelude to seize it in al-Khalil

Wednesday 8-February-2017

The Israeli occupations authorities (IOA) locked a Palestinian house in al-Khalil city on Wednesday and left a notice saying that it should not be used by its owner.

Palestinian sources told the PIC reporter that the house is owned by the Palestinian citizen Izzat Abu Minshar.

They said that the IOA prevented al-Khalil Reconstruction Committee from repairing the house two years ago after a series of protests by Israeli settlers. who were targeting to take over control of the house and thus prevented its restoration.

The IOA had been using the roof of the house for two years now as an observation post for the Israeli army.

The Israeli occupation forces take over Palestinian houses every now and then and annex them to the settlement outposts of the Old City in al-Khalil.
