The Israeli army demolished a Palestinian-owned home in the town of Al-Khader, near Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank on Monday, claiming it had been built without a permit, Anadolu reports.

The single-story, approximately 100-square-meter home belonged to Palestinian Muhammad Ali Salim Musa.

According to the official Palestinian news agency WAFA, Israeli forces raided and surrounded the Umm Rukbe area south of Al-Khader before carrying out the demolition.

WAFA said the Umm Rukbe area has long been subjected to Israeli measures, including demolitions, construction-stop orders and demolition notices.
