TOP News Brief
Israeli occupation authorities forced three citizens in Bethlehem's Beit Jala town to demolish their own homes on Saturday, Shehab Wire reported. The residents undertook the demolitions themselves to avoid paying steep fines and demolition costs that would have been imposed had Israeli military equipment carried out the destruction. The forced self-demolitions are part of Israeli settlement expansion policies in occupied Palestinian territories.
