The Israeli occupation army this morning demolished two Palestinian houses which were under construction in Az-Zawiya town, west of Salfit in the occupied West Bank, under the pretext they were built with no permits, the Palestinian Information Centre reported.

According to local sources, five bulldozers escorted by Israeli occupation forces stormed the town and tore down the two unfinished homes belonging.

Eyewitnesses said that Israeli soldiers spread in the eastern area of the town to the homes, whose owners already received stop-work and demolition notices from the Israeli occupation army.

Earlier at dawn, Israeli forces raided the house of martyr Muhannad Al-Aswad in Idhna town, west of occupied Hebron, and took its measurements as a prelude for demolishing it.

Al-Aswad was martyred after Israeli soldiers encircled a house he was in on Sunday in Hebron, which they then showered with bullets and fired a missile at it before taking his body.
