Israeli occupation forces demolished on Wednesday two Palestinian residential structures to the east of Yatta, south of the occupied West Bank city of AlKhalil, according to local sources.

Coordinator of the Protection and Steadfastness Committees in Masafer Yatta, Fouad al-Amour, told WAFA news agency that Israeli military bulldozers tore down the 65-square-meter house of Palestinian citizen Rasmi Abu Aram in Khirbet Ar-Rakeez.

The occupation army also destroyed the 35-square-meter house of Hatem Makhamra in Khirbet at-Tuwani, purportedly for being built without licenses.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces issued a demolition order against a health unit in Sarura hamlet. The unit belongs Jalal al-Amour who lives in a cave.

In November, over 16 demolition orders were issued against Palestinian structures in the same area, seven of which have already been carried out.

Al-Amour noted that Israeli forces aim to kick Palestinians out of their lands in favor of colonial settlement expansion.
