NABLUS, Wednesday, December 26, 2018 (WAFA) – The Israeli military government demolished on Wednesday a Palestinian-owned car repair shop in the northern West Bank village of al-Lubban al-Sharqiya, south of Nablus, under the pretext it was built in Area C, which is under full Israeli military control.

WAFA correspondent in Nablus said the owner of the car repair shop, Raja Daraghmeh, was previously harassed by the military and Israeli settlers on several occasions for building his shop on the main Ramallah-Nablus road.

Israel does not allow Palestinian development in Area C, which makes up more than 60 percent of the area of the occupied West Bank, and confines development there for Jewish settlers only.
