LONDON: Israeli forces on Thursday demolished a home in the village of Al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah, which is the administrative seat of the Palestinian Authority, according to the Wafa news agency.
Amin Abu Aliya, the head of Al-Mughayyir, reported that Israeli forces stormed and demolished a two-story house under construction in the southern part of the village, citing building without a permit as the reason.
The house belonged to Wajih Musa Abu Aliya.
Al-Mughayyir, a village with about 4,000 residents, in August suffered the destruction of about 3,000 olive trees by the Israeli military under the pretext that the trees posed a “security threat” to an Israeli settlement road that runs through the village’s territory.
The olive tree is a national symbol for Palestinians and provides a vital source of income for 80,000 to 100,000 families who rely on harvesting and selling olives, olive oil, and other products derived from it.
