The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Monday morning demolished a Palestinian home in Khirbet Beit Sakariya hamlet south of Bethlehem.
Local official Hasan Bureijia said the IOF razed a house belonging to Numan Saad in Beit Sakariya which is isolated by the illegal settlement block of Gush Etzion.
As always the IOF justified the measure by claiming the house was unlicensed.
Bureijia accused the Israeli occupation authority of stepping up its violations against Palestinian citizens and their property in this area to force them to leave it in order to carry out more settlement expansion projects.
