IOA threatens demolition of Palestinian home in al-Khalil

Friday 6-January-2017

The Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) at noontime Thursday threatened to knock down a Palestinian home in al-Khalil’s western town of Tarkoumia in the southern West Bank.

Palestinian citizen Alaa Kaakour said the IOA handed him a notification to demolish his 220-square-meter home shortly after he finished the exhausting construction works.

The notification was issued under the pretext that the home is illegally built in the Israeli-run Area C.

In 2016 the IOA knocked down at least 1023 Palestinian buildings in the West Bank and Jerusalem and threatened to raze 657 others to the ground sometime soon.
