Gaza, July 01: The Zionist regime army has handed out demolition orders for the destruction of Palestinian homes and structures located in Al Kahder town in the occupied West Bank.
The demolition plans are in accordance with Israel’s policy of changing the demography of Jerusalem (al-Quds) and the surrounding area in order to turn Islam’s third-holiest city into a “Jews only” region.
Israel’s military civil administration officers on Tuesday have called for the demolition of six homes, four aquifers, and one greenhouse owned by Palestinians south of the city of Bethlehem, in the southern West Bank.
The houses are homes to six families of around 40 people, local sources reported.
The Zionist army claims that they lack the necessary building permits and are too close to the nearby settlers’ road.
In response, the Bethlehem Committee Against Settlements and the Illegal Wall announced next Saturday to be a day of solidarity with the families and called on all members of the community to gather at the homes of these six families.
In addition, the Zionist authorities threatened on Sunday to demolish a further 500 buildings owned by churches in the Old City of Jerusalem (al-Quds), Greek Orthodox and Catholic church officials said.
The church buildings are mainly homes owned by the church and leased to Palestinian Christian priests, nuns and their families.
