Occupation bulldozers demolished a residential building in the village of Al-Walaja, west of Bethlehem, the Ma'an news agency reported. The structure was razed without prior warning to residents.
Al-Walaja, located in the Bethlehem governorate, has faced repeated demolitions of Palestinian homes and structures. Israeli authorities typically cite lack of building permits as justification, though Palestinians say permits are nearly impossible to obtain in areas under Israeli control.
