Israel demolishes Palestinian house near Jerusalem

Jerusalem (UNA-OIC) – Israeli authorities Tuesday demolished a Palestinian-owned house in the area of Wadi al-Hummos in the village of Sur Baher, southeast of the occupied city of Jerusalem.

Palestine news agency, WAFA, quoted security forces as saying that a unit of Israeli forces was accompanied by large bulldozers as they raided the aforementioned area, located near Bethlehem’s Murad resort, closed it off and demolished a three-story house owned by local resident Ayman al-Heih.

Two years ago, Israeli authorities demolished 11 buildings including 77 residential apartments in Wadi al-Hummos, most of which were built in areas classified as Area C, which are completely under the sovereignty of the Palestinian Authority.
