News - Middle East: Israeli forces have demolished a two-story Palestinian house in the West Bank town of Tira, as the Tel Aviv regime continues to press ahead with its land grab policies in the occupied territories in disregard of international law.

Palestine’s official Wafa news agency, citing media sources, reported that Israeli bulldozers, accompanied by troops, raided the town, located in the central part of the occupied territories on Sunday and cordoned off the house before demolishing it.

They claimed that the house, belonging to Palestinian Samer Titi, had been constructed without a permit.

According to a source from the house owner’s family, Israeli authorities claimed that the house had been built with no license on an agricultural piece of land, the Palestinian Information Center reported.

The house has been uninhabited until the moment of the demolition.

It was the second time in two years the Israeli authorities demolished a house belonging to the same family in the city.
