BETHLEHEM, (PIC)-- The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) sent its demolition teams to Beit Jala village in Bethlehem and destroyed a house under construction and part of a restaurant on Thursday.
Local sources said that the 100-meter square house was owned by George Khaliliya.
They added that the IOA teams razed a kitchen and toilets in a restaurant owned by Ramzi Qaisiya, which were destroyed last April but Qaisiya rebuilt them.
Qaisiya charged that the demolition was illegal since the building was built before Israels occupation of the West Bank in 1967.
