BETHLEHEM, Monday, November 30, 2020 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces today demolished a Palestinian–owned house in the town of al-Khader, to the south of the occupied West Bank city of Bethlehem, according to local activist Ahmad Salah.

He told WAFA that Israeli forces raided the town and prevented local residents from entering or leaving it before a bulldozer proceeded to tear down a 200-square-meter house under the pretext that it was built without a permit.

He said that the area where the house was built is the only space left for the town to grow and expand to accommodate its growing population. However, he added, the area has been targeted by the Israeli occupation authorities for its settlement activities.
