Israeli occupation forces demolished 27 commercial facilities Wednesday morning along a thoroughfare stretching from Marj Ibn Amer roundabout through the village of Aaba to Hadad junction, east of Jenin, Shehab Wire reported. The forces sealed off roads providing access to the area as the operation unfolded.
The targeted structures lined a commercial street serving the eastern Jenin region. The demolitions mark the latest in a series of operations by Israeli authorities affecting Palestinian commercial and residential areas. Israeli officials typically justify such demolitions by citing the absence of building permits issued by their administration.
