Israeli forces demolish two Palestinian homes in West Bank village

Israeli occupation soldier demolished two homes and an agricultural shed belonging to brothers Nidal and Ahmed Mahmoud Abdel Khaleq in the village of Budrus, west of Ramallah, on Monday.

Local sources speaking to Wafa, said the buildings, each about 150 square metres and home to roughly 14 people, were destroyed by soldiers accompanied by a military bulldozer.

Authorities had reportedly issued Nidal with a demolition notice three months earlier. He filed an appeal, but the homes were razed before the court issued a response, despite being located within the village’s approved structural plan. The incident underscores Israel’s ongoing campaign of forced displacement and house demolitions, which violates international law and deepen the oppression of Palestinians.
