Israeli occupation forces stormed the town of Al-Khader, south of Bethlehem, on Thursday, in preparation for the demolition of three residential apartments, a commercial store, and a car wash.

Al-Khader Mayor Ahmed Salah reported that an Israeli occupation army force stormed Al-Khader and took up positions in the Umm Rakba area to the south, in preparation for the demolition of a house owned by Ibrahim Al-Sarfandi and his two sons. The house has an area of 400 square meters (three apartments), in addition to a car wash and a building materials store.

Salah added that the occupation authorities notified the home's owners of the demolition a year ago, noting that the residents were removing some of the furniture and belongings from the house prior to the demolition.
