Israeli forces demolished two residential buildings in Birzeit, a town north of Ramallah in the northern West Bank, the Ma'an news agency reported. The demolitions were carried out in what marked another instance of structure removal in Palestinian territory under Israeli military control.
The operation targeted residential structures within the town. Israeli authorities have cited various grounds for such demolitions in the past, including lack of building permits and security concerns, though specific justifications for this operation were not immediately clarified. The extent of displacement or the number of residents affected by the demolitions remained unclear.
