Israeli forces demolish house, injure dozens northwest of Bethlehem
BETHLEHEM, Monday, January 25, 2021 (WAFA) – Israeli forces today demolished a Palestinian house under construction and injured dozens in al-Walaja village, northwest of the Bethlehem city, according to sources.
Mayor of al-Walaja, Khader al-A‘araj, told WAFA that Israeli forces escorted a bulldozer to northwestern part of the village, where the heavy machinery tore down a two-story house under construction, purportedly for being built without a permit.
The house owner was identified as Mohammad Abdul-Latif Jayyousi.
During ensuing confrontations, the soldiers opened fire towards local youths who protested the demolition, injuring a number with rubber-coated steel bullets and causing others to suffocate from tear gas inhalation.
