Israeli forces have demolished two Palestinian homes in Al-Khader, a town located south of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank. The homes, owned by brothers Osama and Raed Muhammad Hassan Salah, were torn down after authorities claimed they were built without permits. Residents were prevented from approaching the area during the demolition, which took place in the Ard Al-Deir neighborhood. The incident highlights ongoing restrictions faced by Palestinians in Area C, where building permits are rarely granted and expansion is tightly controlled by Israeli authorities.
