‘Israel’ demolishes two Palestinian houses in Bethlehem
Bethlehem (QNN)- Israeli occupation forces demolished two Palestinian houses this morning, northwest of the southern occupied West Bank city of Bethlehem, under the pretext of building without a permit.
Local sources reported that Israeli occupation forces escorted bulldozers to Beit Jala and al-Walaja villages and demolished two Palestinian houses under the pretext of building without a permit.
In Beit Jala, the occupation forces demolished a one-story Palestinian house that was under construction and owned by a resident even though the owner had obtained a decision from an Israeli occupation court not to stop the construction of his house.
