The Israeli military demolished this week a Palestinian-owned house in the town of al-Khader, south of the southern West Bank city of Bethlehem, under the pretext it was built without a permit, reported Palestinian news agency Wafa.

Hasan Breijieh, from the anti-wall, anti-settlement committee told WAFA that the demolished house, owned by Mohammad Abu Amoos, was rebuilt after it was demolished in 2002 for the same reason.

The area where the house is located is targeted by the Israeli settlement activity and many Palestinian homeowners have already received demolition or stop construction orders.
