On Thursday, Israeli authorities forced Palestinian citizens to demolish their homes in Beit Hanina town, north of Jerusalem. Occupation bulldozers also demolished a citizen’s home in the village of Einabus, south of Nablus in the northern West Bank.
The Jerusalem Governorate reported that occupation authorities coerced the citizen, Rami Alloun and his son, Mohammad, to demolish their homes in Beit Hanina town.
Israeli authorities threatened Alloun and his son with excessive fines under the pretext of building without a license, forcing them to carry out the demolition themselves.
The Wadi Hilweh Information Center in Jerusalem (Silwanic) reported that the two demolished homes were inhabited by 14 citizens, including children, adding that the houses were built two decades ago.
Meanwhile, at dawn Thursday, occupation forces demolished the home of the slain Palestinian, Samer Mohammad Ahmad Hussein, 46, in the village of Einabus, south of Nablus.
Media sources said that a large army force invaded Einabus village, accompanied by a military bulldozer, and besieged the home of slain man, before destroying it.
The same sources reported that occupation forces razed the two-storey home, which provided shelter for 10 citizens, adding that bulldozers knocked down the wall surrounding the home along with a number of trees.
It is important to mention that Israeli forces killed Hussein on November 29, 2024, after he allegedly carried out a shooting operation north of Salfit, in the central occupied West Bank.
