Jericho /PNN /

Israeli forces Thursday demolished a Palestinian-owned house in the village of Nu'eima, north of the occupied West Bank city of Jericho.

Mohammad Abu Ghorouf, an activist, said that the Israeli forces were accompanied by a military bulldozer when they razed lands in the aforementioned village to demolish a house owned by local resident Atallah Treyfat.

He added that the house is 150 square meters and is inhabited by about five people.

Israeli forces had previously notified Treyfat of their intention to demolish his house a month ago, claiming that it was built without a permit.
