Colonial Israeli settlers last night demolished portions of the Old Market in the city of Hebron, south of the occupied West Bank, which has been sealed off since 1983. Imad Hamdan, the Director of the Hebron Rehabilitation Committee, told WAFA that a group of army-guarded Israeli settlers demolished structures in the Old Market, located in downtown Hebron. Hamdan explained that the Hebron municipality obtained a precautionary order from the Israeli judiciary to stop the construction of 31 housing units for Israeli settlers in the Old Market from 2017 until 2021, but the so-called Israeli Higher Settlement Council allowed the construction to be completed since then. He pointed out that the excavation and construction works by Israeli settlers in the area have been in progress over the last few months. Source: En – Palestine news & Information Agency – WAFA
