BETHLEHEM, November 3, 2025 (WAFA) \u2013\u00a0Israeli \u00a0forces demolished on Monday a Palestinian house in the village of Al-Walaja, west of Bethlehem. <\/p>\n
Khader Al-Araj, head of the Al-Walaja village council, told WAFA correspondent that Israeli forces, accompanied by military vehicles, stormed the village and concentered in the Ain Juwaiza area before demolishing a house belonging to the Abu Rizq family. <\/p>\n
The home, which measured approximately 80 square meters, sheltered a family of several members. <\/p>\n
Al-Araj affirmed that the demolition was carried out under the pretext of lacking a building permit, despite the family having applied for permits years ago. However, Israeli authorities continually delay such applications as part of a systematic policy targeting the residents of Al-Walaja to seize their land and force them to leave.<\/p>\n
Ain Juwaiza area has been subjected for years to an escalating colonial campaign, which has included the demolition of dozens of homes and the issuance of stop-work orders, as part of the occupation’s efforts to expand the boundaries of the Jerusalem municipality at the expense of the village’s residents.<\/p>\n
From October 7, 2023, to October 5, 2025, Israeli authorities carried out a total of 1,014 demolitions in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, affecting 3,679 structures. These included 1,288 inhabited homes, 244 uninhabited homes, and 962 agricultural and other structures.<\/p>\n
During the same period, Israeli authorities also issued 1,667 demolition orders against Palestinian structures.<\/p>\n
