The Israeli occupation authorities on Sunday ordered the demolition of a Palestinian sheep barn in al-Walaja village west of Bethlehem and imposed a heavy fine on its owner.

Activist Ibrahim Awadallah said that the Israeli forces stormed Khillat al-Samak area in al-Walaja and handed the Palestinian citizen Emad ad-Darras a notice providing for the demolition of his sheep Barn under the pretext of being unlicensed.

Ad-Darras will also be ordered to pay a 30000-140000 NIS fine Awadallah added.

The Israeli forces further took photos of several Palestinian homes and farmlands in the area before they withdrew.

Local residents said that al-Walaja has been recently subjected to a stepped up home demolition campaign.
