Four citizens were injured today, Wednesday, when the Israeli occupation forces demolished a house and a commercial facility in the town of Deir Ballut, west of the city of Salfit.

The mayor of Deir Ballut, Samir Nimr, told the official news agency, WAFA, that the occupation forces began demolishing a house inhabited by residents in the “Al-Mureij” area, consisting of one floor with an area of 150 square meters, and a commercial facility (a carpentry shop) on an area of one dunum, owned by the citizen Adel Yousef Abdullah.

He pointed out that the occupation demolished the house and the commercial facility without prior warning, as citizen Abdullah was unable to empty their contents before the demolition.

Nimr reported that the medical teams dealt with 4 injuries, one of which was caused by live bullets to the foot, and three injuries caused by sound bombs to the face and shoulder area. The injured were transferred to the Martyr Yasser Arafat Hospital and the medical centers in the towns of Deir Ballut and Al-Zawiya.
