Wednesday, the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) demolished three houses and two sheds in the village of al-Walaja in Bethlehem, as reported by the Palestinian news agency WAFA. 

An activist Ibrahim Awad said IOF soldiers accompanied by a bulldozer broke into two areas of al-Walaja village and demolished three houses owned by local residents and two animal sheds.

The buildings and sheds were demolished under the pretext that they were built without acquiring the necessary permit.

The bulldozer also destroyed a road that leads to the village cemetery and retaining walls.
