On Thursday, Israeli forces demolished two Palestinian homes and razed citizens’ lands near Hebron, in the southern West Bank, in addition to issuing stop-work orders to six houses near Ramallah, in the central West Bank.
Fard Barqan, the head of the Birin village council told the WAFA News Agency that occupation forces invaded the “Khallat al-Farn” area of the village, accompanied by bulldozers and demolished two homes belonging to the citizen Hazem Abu Najma.
He added that the bulldozers filled a water well and destroyed agricultural crops in the vicinity of the two homes. The army also razed at least 30 dunams of land, destroying several walls and fences surrounding the property belonging to the citizen Saeed Abu Hadid.
In the central West Bank, Israeli authorities ordered to halt the construction of 6 houses, in addition to walls and huts, in the town of Ni’lin, west of Ramallah.
According to Youssef Al-Khawaja, the Mayor of Ni’lin, said that Israeli forces invaded the “Al-Musayna’a” and “Bir Al-Shayed” areas of the town and delivered stop-work orders to ten individuals, under the pretext of not having a permit.
Al-Khawaja added that the notices targeted six houses, two of which are almost ready to inhabit, in addition to two walls and two huts.
In related news, the army levelled citizens’ lands south of Hebron, in the southern West Bank, in order to expand an illegal colonial outpost adjacent to the “Otneil” settlement, west of Yatta.
Khaled Al-Qaimari, a local media activist, told WAFA that Israeli forces bulldozed large areas of citizens’ land in the “Khallat al-Farra” area, west of Yatta, with the intention of expanding the recently established colonial outpost, built on citizens’ land in the “Umm Al-Amad” area between the village of Karma and the town of Yatta.
