Israeli army razes house under construction in Tulkarem

Tuesday 31-March-2020

The Israeli occupation army on Tuesday morning demolished a Palestinian house under construction at the main entrance to Jabara village south of Tulkarem in the West Bank.

Local official Ihsan Tahseen said that two bulldozers escorted by a large number of Israeli troops stormed the village in the morning and closed its eastern and western entrances before encircling the house and embarking on demolishing it.

The one-story house belonged to a Palestinian citizen called Khaled Rasheed from the nearby village of Kafr Abbush.

The homeowner had already received a notice from the Israeli army ordering him to stop building the house at the pretext of unlicensed construction.

The Israeli army demolished three Palestinian homes in the same area last year as part of an ongoing demolition campaign targeting Jabara village.
