BETHLEHEM, Aug. 5, 2026 (WAFA) — Israeli occupation forces today began demolishing two inhabited Palestinian homes in the town of Nahalin, west of Bethlehem, according to local sources.
Local sources told WAFA that Israeli forces, accompanied by military vehicles and bulldozers, stormed the area of “Qarnat al-Da’mas” and began demolishing two two-story homes belonging to residents Ahmad Mohammad Najajreh and Mohammad Yousef Awad, under the pretext of lacking building permits.
The sources said the homes had been evacuated a week earlier after the owners received demolition notices.
They added that the demolitions are part of a previous Israeli decision targeting 14 homes and structures in several areas of Nahalin, some of which have already been demolished.
Israeli forces also evacuated a home in the town of al-Minya, south of Bethlehem.
