SALFIT (Ma'an) -- Israeli forces demolished a Palestinian home in Salfit on Thursday on the pretext that the home was unlicensed, a local official said.

The home belonged to Ghanem Mahmoud Abed al-Karim.
Around 70 homes in the area are under threat of being demolished, Yousef added.
Researcher Khalid Maali said that Israeli forces claim the homes are unlicensed and that the area is a nature reserve.
Israel has destroyed more than 500 Palestinian properties in the West Bank and East Jerusalem since the beginning of this year, displacing 862 people, according to UNOCHA. more
