Israeli occupation forces demolished two residential buildings in Birzeit, north of Ramallah in the central West Bank, IMEMC News reported Monday. The demolitions followed a military invasion of the town by Israeli army units. Residents and media sources confirmed the structures were residential buildings, though the identities of the owners and the military's stated justification for the demolitions remained unclear.
The operation marked the latest in a series of building demolitions carried out by Israeli forces across occupied Palestinian territories. Birzeit, a town in Ramallah governorate, has experienced repeated military incursions and demolition orders in recent years as part of broader Israeli settlement expansion policies in the West Bank.
