IOF demolishes Palestinian home near Bethlehem

Monday 16-December-2019

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Monday knocked down a Palestinian house in al-Khader town south of Bethlehem for allegedly being unlicensed.

Anti-settlement activist Hasan Breijiyeh said that several bulldozers accompanied by a large number of IOF soldiers stormed Khirbet Alia area in al-Khader town and embarked on demolishing a Palestinian home.

Breijiyeh said that the 120-square-meter house was inhabited by the Palestinian citizen Ahmad Salah and his family.

He noted that Salah had applied to obtain an Israeli permit for his home but the Israeli occupation authorities ignored his request and decided to demolish the house without prior warning as a punitive measure.
