BETHLEHEM, May 1, 2014 – (WAFA) – Israeli forces handed Thursday demolition notices for structures and animal barns belonging to three people in Al-Khader to the south of Bethlehem, said a local activist.
Forces and ‘Civil Administration’ officers stormed ‘Um Rukbah’, an area located to the south of Al-Khader, where they handed demolition notices for structures used as car wash, paint and maintenance shop as well as a barn belonging to three citizens, according to Coordinator of Anti-wall and Settlement Resistance Committee Ahmad Salah.
Salah added the forces gave citizens 45 days to demolish their property.
He noted that Um Rukbah is the only area where residents of Al-Khader are allowed to construct buildings. For the last several years, this area has been targeted by Israeli forces which have been systematically carrying out demolitions and handing demolition notices.
