JERICHO, November 15, 2011 (WAFA) – Israeli forces Tuesday demolished four houses belonging to Palestinians in Adyouk Al-tahta, a village in Jericho, according to governor of Jericho and the Jordon Valley, Majid Fityani.

He said that Israeli bulldozers, under the protection of Israeli soldiers, stormed the village and demolished four Palestinian houses.

He condemned the demolition of the houses and said, “These measures are part of the Israeli policies used against the Palestinian people, particularly in the Jordon Valley, aiming to empty the area of its Palestinian residents as well as break their steadfastness.”

He added Israel targets everything that has to do with Palestinians and launches a systematic campaign of arrests, incursions and demolitions in order to drag the region into violence and chaos which helps Israel to lessen the international pressure on it after the Palestinian people’s success in exposing its policies.
