Israeli Forces Demolish Palestinian Home and Agriculture Facility Near Bethlehem.

Bethlehem: Israeli forces Tuesday demolished a home and an agricultural facility belonging to Palestinian residents in the village of Nahalin, west of Bethlehem, according to a local official. According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, Jamal Ghiyatha, head of the Nahalin village council, confirmed that Israeli forces destroyed a 150-square-meter house in the eastern part of Nahalin. The house was inhabited, and its demolition was justified by a lack of an Israeli-issued building permit. Confrontations erupted at the demolition site, where Israeli forces reportedly used tear gas and sound bombs to disperse residents. These actions resulted in several cases of suffocation among the villagers. Additionally, the forces demolished an agricultural facility that included a plant nursery, an agricultural room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. Another agricultural structure owned by a third resident faced a similar fate, with both demolitions also citing the absence of building permits. These demolitions are part of a series of actions following previous orders by Israeli authorities targeting homes and agricultural structures in the area.
