Al-khader: Israeli forces began on Wednesday demolishing two Palestinian homes in the town of al-Khader, south of Bethlehem. The deputy mayor of al-Khader, Husni Issa, reported that the homes belonged to brothers Osama and Raed Muhammad Hassan Salah. Each of the homes measured 200 square meters and was situated in the Ard al-Deir area, west of Bethlehem. The demolitions were carried out under the pretext that the homes were built without proper permits.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, Israeli soldiers completely closed off the area and restricted residents' access to the demolition site. This action is part of ongoing tensions in the region related to building regulations and permits.
