The Israeli occupation forces demolished a Palestinian-owned house and other structures in the occupied West Bank on Thursday morning, the Palestinian Information Centre has reported.

The structures were in Beit Awa town, to the south west of Hebron. Owner Muhammad Musa Al-Suwaiti confirmed that the occupation forces demolished his house. The other structures demolished were a 1,000m2 sheep pen, and two agricultural barn-like buildings made of brick and tin, each with an area of 50 square metres.

Since the start of the Israeli genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza last October, the occupation regime has been waging a parallel offensive across the West Bank and Jerusalem. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed, wounded or arrested in the occupied Palestinian territory.
