(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Israeli occupation forces (IOF) razed four Palestinian homes in Makhrur area in Beit Jala town to the north of Bethlehem on Tuesday without prior notice, local sources said.

Nadim San’an, the director of Beit Jala municipality, said that the IOF bulldozers knocked down the four old homes, which were recently maintained, adding that famers use those homes when they farm their land.

He pointed out that the owners of the four houses were not notified of the demolition beforehand, adding that the IOF wanted to bar farmers from tending to their lands in the area.

Makhrur is near to the tunnels area which is located between occupied Jerusalem and the Kfar Etzion settlement complex.
