Israeli army demolishes 3 Palestinian homes in West Bank
RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA) – The Israeli army has demolished three Palestinian homes in the occupied West Bank, according to a local Palestinian official.
One of the two homes demolished in the village of Furush Beit Dajan in the Jordan Valley area was under construction, Azem Haj Muhammad, head of the village’s council, said.
He said the homes in Area C were demolished on the usual controversial pretext of not having building permits from the Israeli authorities.
Witnesses also told the media that another home was demolished for the same reason in the village of Al-Jiftlik near Furush Beit Dajan.
The Israeli authorities prohibit construction or land reclamation in Area C, without permits, which are almost impossible to obtain, according to Palestinians and international human rights reports.
Under the 1995 Oslo Accords between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization, the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, was divided into three areas A, B, and C.
Area C, which represents 61% of the West Bank, is under Israel’s oppressive civil and security control.
