JORDAN VALLEY, November 7, 2017 (WAFA) – Israeli forces Tuesday demolished two Palestinian-owned buildings in the village of al-Jiftlik in the Jordan Valley in the occupied West Bank under the pretext they were built without a permit.

Owner of one of the buildings, Ahmad Bani Odeh, told WAFA that he had requested an Israeli construction permit two years ago but his request was rejected.

He said he received an order last month to appear at the Israeli military office but that did not result in getting the building permit and was surprised when a bulldozer and forces came this morning to demolish his building.

The second building belonged to Khalil Jahalin, another resident of the same village whose building was demolished for the same reason.
