Israeli demolitions in Bethlehem leave 20 homeless

10 years ago

Israeli forces this morning left 20 Palestinians homeless in the Beit Jala’s Beir Ouna neighbourhood in the occupied Bethlehem district.

Two homes and a room that were part of a family complex were demolished.

One of the residents, Moussa Zreina, told Ma’an that he, along with his five brothers and a total of 20 family members, were left homeless after their houses were destroyed with no prior notice.

A spokesperson for Israel’s Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), which is responsible for implementing the Israeli government’s policy in the occupied Palestinian territory, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the demolitions in Sair or Beit Jala.
