Israeli Forces hand over warrants of House demolition to Palestinians

Bethlehem, September 26, SPA -- The Israeli occupation forces handed
over a number of notifications of house demolition to Palestinian
civilians in the village of Kissan to the east of Bethlehem.

These notifications indicated that the Israeli forces will carry out
the demolitions if Palestinians did not demolish their own houses
within a week, Palestinian sources said today.

The sources quoted Husayn Ali Audah Ghazal of Kissan village as
saying that Israeli soldiers handed over demolition notices of his
house and two other houses belonging to his children in the same
village.

He explained that the soldiers threatened to demolish the houses
a week after the date of receipt of such notifications under the
pretext of building without a permit.

The occupation forces handed over other notices to the rural
council and other civilian houses to expedite the demolition of
buildings built without a license in accordance with the Israeli
authorities.

He pointed out that the Israeli bulldozers had already destroyed
his house more than once with the same pretext and excuses. He also
demanded that Palestinian official authorities, media and human
rights groups should work together to raise this important issue and
stand firmly in support of these people in the face of such risks.
