Israeli forces demolish house west of Jenin

JENIN: The Israeli occupation authorities today demolished a house in the village of Tura, west of Jenin.

The head of the Tura village council, Tariq Qabha, said that the occupation authorities stormed the village, accompanied by three bulldozers, and demolished a house, with an area of ??120-square meters, under the pretext that it was building without a license.

Muhammad Zaid, a local resident, said that the occupation notified his brother Younis last year of its intention to demolish the house without specifying a date for implementation, and the family’s attempts to cancel the demolition decision were unsuccessful.

He added that his brother, his wife and his daughter have been living in the house for about 6 years.

He pointed out that the occupation forces surrounded the house and prevented the residents of the town from reaching it.

The occupation forces issued demolition notices 13 houses in Tura, under the pretext that they were built without having a license.

According to the Wall and Settlement
Authority, the occupation forces have demolished nearly 500 homes and facilities in the West Bank since October 7.
