Israeli Forces Demolish Palestinian Homes, Structures in West Bank

West Bank, MINA – Israeli occupation forces carried out a series of demolition operations in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, targeting Palestinian residential and agricultural properties in Bethlehem, Nablus, and Salfit, according to the Palestine Information Center.

In the town of Taqu’, southeast of Bethlehem, Israeli forces demolished a two-story Palestinian home in the Khirbet Al-Deir area, claiming it had been built without an Israeli-issued permit.

The house, owned by Ali Mahmoud Suleiman, measured approximately 200 square meters on each floor. Israeli troops sealed off the area during the operation, preventing residents from approaching the demolition site.

In the Nablus governorate, Israeli forces demolished an agricultural livestock structure in the village of Duma after military vehicles and a bulldozer entered the area before dawn. The structure belonged to Ibrahim Abdul Razzaq Dawabsheh.

Meanwhile, in the Salfit governorate, Israeli forces demolished two agricultural structures on Wednesday evening in the Khallat Al-Harmiya area, west of Kafr Al-Dik.

During the operation, Israeli troops kidnapped five Palestinians and held them for more than two hours. The forces also confiscated four privately owned vehicles belonging to the detainees and transferred them to a nearby Israeli settler outpost.

The latest demolitions are part of ongoing Israeli operations across the occupied West Bank, where Palestinians frequently face home demolitions, land confiscation, and restrictions on construction under the Israeli permit system.[]
