"Building without a permit" The occupation demolishes two homes for Palestinians in the West Bank : Palestine
The Israeli occupation forces demolished two houses in the cities of Bethlehem and Jericho, for reasons of building without a permit. The occupation prohibits the Palestinians of the West Bank and Jerusalem from building or reclaiming their lands in Area C without permits from it.
Today, Monday, the Israeli occupation army demolished two Palestinian homes in the cities of Bethlehem and Jericho, in the south and center of the West Bank, under the pretext of "building without a permit."
In the village of Artas, south of Bethlehem, the occupation forces demolished a house under construction, for reasons of building without a permit, in Area C.
And in the "Sama Jericho" area, east of the city of Jericho, the occupation forces demolished an inhabited house for a Jerusalemite family in the same argument.
The occupation authorities prevent the Palestinians of the West Bank and Jerusalem from building or reclaiming their lands in Area C without permits, which the occupation authorities refuse most of the time.
The Oslo Accords (1993) classified the lands of the West Bank into 3 areas: “A” under full Palestinian control, “B” under Israeli security, Palestinian civil and administrative control, and “C” under Israeli civil, administrative and security control, and the latter constitutes about 60% of the area.
