Jenin, 20 Jumadal Awwal 1436/11 March 2015 (MINA) – The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) demolished Wednesday morning a Palestinian-owned factory and steel structure in Barta and Zebda towns southeast of Jenin.

The PIC reporter said that IOF soldiers stormed since the early morning hours Barta town, isolated behind the separation wall, and demolished a factory under construction, Palestinian Information Center (PIC) quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) as reporting.

Local residents were brutally assaulted during the demolition process, the sources added.

The IOF soldiers surrounded the area and were heavily deployed at the town’s entrances before demolishing the factory under the pretext of being built without permit in area C (under full Israeli civil and security control).
