West Bank: Israeli occupation forces demolish a house west of Jenin
Today, Tuesday, the Israeli occupation authorities demolished a house in the village of Tura, west of Jenin.
According to local sources, the occupation forces stormed the village of Tura, accompanied by three military bulldozers, and demolished a house belonging to the citizen Younis Zaid, with an area of 120 square meters, under the pretext of not having a permit.
Citizen Mohammed Zaid 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 order 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 town's residents from reaching it.
The occupation threatened to demolish about 13 houses in Tura under the pretext of lacking a permit.
According to the Wall and Settlement Authority, the occupation forces have demolished nearly 500 homes and facilities in the West Bank since October 7, while the demolition operations in the Jenin Governorate affected nearly 45 homes and facilities, including 15 inhabited and uninhabited homes.
