On Tuesday, Israeli soldiers invaded Anata town, northeast of the occupied capital Jerusalem, in the West Bank, and demolished four structures and several retaining walls.
Taha No’man Refa’ey, the Mayor of Anata, said several Israeli military vehicles, including bulldozers, invaded the town during the morning hours and demolished several buildings near the illegal Annexation Wall.
He stated that the soldiers also demolished several stone retaining walls built over seventy years ago and added that Palestinians from the local Salam family own the demolished structures and walls.
The soldiers also destroyed a container filled with car tires on land rented from the Palestinian Ministry of Waqf and Endowment.
In addition, the soldiers demolished a wall built in the location where the construction of a school was planned on land owned by Arafat Khalil near the illegal Annexation Wall.
Furthermore, the army demolished a wall surrounding two Dunams of Palestinian land owned by Ahmad Mohammad Al-Karshan.
The Mayor warned that the constant Israeli violations and demolitions, especially the destruction of retaining walls that prevent rainfall from flooding streets and buildings, would lead to further devastation and destruction.
