Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Monday morning demolished a structure owned by Palestinian citizen Fayez Abed Rabbo in al-Walaja village in the West Bank district of Bethlehem.
Local sources said that the IOF accompanied by bulldozers stormed the village in the early morning hours and knocked down Abed Rabbo’s 80 square-meter room.
Confrontations flared up in the area between Palestinian youths and IOF soldiers following the demolition.
The IOF fired tear gas canisters and stun grenades at the youths. No injuries were reported but a nearby farmland was partially burned.
Al-Walaja village has been always targeted with Israeli land grab and demolition campaigns that serve different settlement projects in the area.
