BETHLEHEM/JORDAN VALLEY, Monday, December 07, 2020 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces today demolished two structures in a village near Bethlehem in the south of the West Bank, and ordered the removal of tents in the Jordan Valley, said local sources.

Zayed Kawaziyah, head of al-Maniya village council, east of Bethlehem, told WAFA that Israeli forces demolished two rooms built from bricks with a metal roof belonging to a local resident under the pretext they were built without a permit.

The Israeli occupation authorities have recently escalated their attacks against al-Maniya village, including demolition of structures and issuing stop construction orders.

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation authorities ordered the removal of tents used by residents of Hamamat al-Maleh hamlet in the northern Jordan Valley, according to Aref Daraghme, a local rights defender.

He told WAFA that the tents were set up at the beginning of this year to provide services to local residents.
