Israel destroys six homes in the West Bank



Israeli occupation forces yesterday destroyed six Palestinian homes in the north of the occupied West Bank, officials in the Palestinian government said.


The chief of the settlement dossier in northern West Bank, Ghassan Daglass, said that the Israeli occupation destroyed four houses built of mud about 100 years ago.


The occupation claimed that the houses were illegally built. Daglass said that such houses do not need licenses because they were built before the occupation.


“Israel is used to demolishing houses built of mud or metal plates under the pretext of building without licenses,” he said. “What Israel did today suggest a new stage of targeting houses aiming at evacuating the Palestinian lands in order to be ready for expanding settlements.”


According to Daglass, the other two houses, which were destroyed, were modern located in Tubas in the north of the West Bank. “They were demolished under the pretext of having no licenses,” he said.


Israeli authorities did not comment on the demolition of the Palestinian houses
