On Tuesday, Israeli soldiers invaded the village of Toura, west of Jenin in the occupied West Bank’s northern part, and demolished a Palestinian home.
Tareq Kabaha, the head of the Toura Village Council, stated that the soldiers, accompanied by three bulldozers and several armored military vehicles, invaded the village, before they demolished a house belonging to Younis Zaid, with an area of 120 square meters, under the pretext of lacking a construction permit.
The soldiers surrounded the property and closed the entire area to prevent the Palestinians from entering it, before demolishing the home.
Resident Mohammad Zeid stated that the Israeli authorities had notified his brother, Younis, last year of their intention to demolish the house without specifying a date for the demolition and that the family’s appeals against the military orders were denied.
Zeid added that his brother, his wife, and his daughter, who had built on their land, had been living in the house for about six years.
It is worth mentioning that the Israeli army had previously notified approximately 13 homes in Toura of demolitions under the pretext of lacking construction permits.
According to the Wall & Colonization Resistance Commission, since October 7th of last year, Israeli forces have demolished approximately 500 homes and structures in the West Bank, including around 45 homes and structures in Jenin.
