Israeli forces demolish Palestinian home in occupied West Bank

Israeli forces demolished a Palestinian home in the eastern area of Hebron in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, Wafa news reported.

Local sources said that Israeli soldiers, accompanied by heavy machinery, knocked down a two-story building which was home to two families, including children and elderly residents, who have been left homeless following the demolition.

According to Palestinian security sources, the orders were issued on the grounds that the homes lacked Israeli-issued building permits.
