RAMALLAH, Thursday, May 28, 2020 (WAFA) – Six Palestinian families were informed today by the Israeli army that the homes they built in the village of al-Tira, southwest of Ramallah, will be demolished for construction without permit, according to the head of al-Tira village council Abdul Jaber Mohammad.

He told WAFA that an army force broke into the village and handed six families the demolition orders against their homes claiming that the homes were built in Area C, which is under full Israeli military rule.

The 4000-dunum village and its 1650 residents are regularly harassed by the Israeli army, said Mohammad, who few days ago seized a tractor a farmer was using to plow his land and destroyed a road that connected al-Tira to nearby Beit Ur village.
