LONDON: Israeli authorities demolished two houses in Ramallah and East Jerusalem in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday.
Israeli forces demolished a house in Deir Qaddis village, west of Ramallah, using a military bulldozer after storming the area. The two-story house, home to more than ten residents, belonged to Nader Khawaja and was built 15 years ago, according to the Wafa news agency.
In Rafat, a town located northwest of Jerusalem, Israeli bulldozers demolished a house that a Palestinian owned.
On Monday, the Israeli army announced plans to demolish 25 residential buildings in the Nur Shams refugee camp in the northern West Bank later this week.
