Israeli occupation forces demolished a Palestinian-owned home Sunday morning in the village of Al-Walaja, located west of Bethlehem in the southern occupied West Bank, according to local sources.
Khader Al-Araj, the head of the Al-Walaja Village Council, reported that a large contingent of Israeli soldiers, accompanied by a military bulldozer, broke into the Ain Juwaiza neighborhood of the village. They proceeded to demolish the home of Ghassan Al-Atrash, a local resident, which measured approximately 120 square meters.
Al-Araj pointed out that the Israeli occupation authorities frequently employ such measures to harass residents and pressure them to leave the village, citing flimsy pretexts for the demolitions.
Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation forces raided early Sunday several towns in the West Bank, arresting several Palestinians and clashing with the resistance fighters.
In this regard, clashes erupted between the Israeli occupation forces and the Palestinian resistance fighters in Jabaa town stormed by the enemy troops who arrested the two locals Adnan Khalilah and Baraa Malaysha.
In Ramallah, the Israeli occupation forces stormed the town of Beitunia, west of Ramallah, patrolling its streets and arresting five Palestinians from the Gaza Strip after storming a residential building. They arrested Gazans are: Jamil Nael Juha, Maher Nael Juha, Saleh Wael Juha, Salah Wael Juha, and Wael Salah Juha.
