Pictures| Israeli authorities demolish Palestinian-owned house in Kufr Qassem

Kufr Qassem (QNN)- Israeli occupation authorities earlier on Tuesday demolished a Palestinian-owned house in the Arab town of Kufr Qassem in the 1948-occupied Palestinian territories.

Under the pretext of lacking an Israeli-issued construction permit, the Israeli occupation forces earlier today escorted bulldozers to the town after raiding it and started demolishing a Palestinian house.

This came a day after the occupation authorities forced another Palestinian family in the town to self-demolish its house to avoid paying a fine in exorbitant demolition costs to the Israeli municipality (the staff and the police) if it carries out the demolition.

Israeli occupation authorities have intensified the demolitions of Palestinian houses in the 1948-occupied Palestinian territories.
