On Thursday, Israeli forces demolished a home and a playground, while colonizers razed land and burned a bulldozer in the Bethlehem and Ramallah governorates of the occupied West Bank.

Occupation forces demolished a Palestinian-owned home in the town of Al-Khader, south of Bethlehem in the southern occupied West Bank.


Media sources reported that Israeli forces invaded the Umm Rukba area of Al-Khader town, accompanied by bulldozers, before cordoning off the area and preventing citizens from approaching.

The sources added that the army demolished a two-storey home, measuring 150 square meters, owned by the citizen Abdullah Saleh Abdul Salam Salah.


Meanwhile, the army demolished a utility shed and a childrens’ park in the village of Al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah in the central West Bank.

Media sources reported that occupation forces stormed Al-Mughayyir village and positioned units in the “Dahr al-Qubba” area, before tearing down a shed containing electrical equipment, owned by Murad Abdul Hafeez Abu Aliya.


The sources added that Israeli forces destroyed a childrens’ playground in the same area, under the pretext of building without a permit, while military bulldozers razed agricultural land and uprooted olive trees during the process.


In the same context, illegal Israeli colonizers burned a construction vehicle belonging to a local Palestinian family in the town of Beit Fajjar, southwest of Bethlehem.

Media sources reported that a group of Israeli settlers infiltrated the “Khallat Hajji” quarries area in Beit Fajjar, and set fire to a bulldozer owned by the Al-Taweel family, causing severe damage.

Meanwhile, colonizers continued for a second day, to raze Palestinian-owned lands in the town of Turmus Ayya, north of Ramallah.

Media sources reported that a group of settlers razed a four-dunam plot of land planted with olive trees, adding that on Wednesday, colonizers razed five dunams of land in the “Al-Tawal” area.
