IOF demolishes house in OJ

Israeli occupation forces (IOF) demolished a Palestinian house in occupied Jerusalem on Monday at the pretext of construction in agricultural land.

Local sources said that IOF soldiers escorted municipality bulldozers that razed the house of Emad Abu Laban in Tur suburb along with the surrounding fence and a number of trees in addition to water tanks.

The sources pointed out that soldiers assaulted the house owners when they objected to the destruction of the fence and the trees and tanks.

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation authority served two demolition notices to owners of two Palestinian homes near Yatta village in al-Khalil.

Local sources said that staffers of the so-called civil administration delivered the notices.
