Enemy demolishes car wash, garage in Bethlehem
Bethlehem/Occupied Quds - Saba: Israeli enemy forces demolished a car wash and a garage in the village of Al-Jab'a, south of Bethlehem, while Israeli settlers attacked an agricultural facility southeast of occupied Quds. The head of the Al-Jab'a Village Council, Diab Masha'la, said that an Israeli army force, accompanied by a bulldozer, stormed the village and took up positions at the western entrance to the village. They demolished a car wash and a garage for car repair (painting and mechanics) belonging to him, under the pretext that they were unlicensed. He noted that the enemy notified him of the demolition about two months ago. Masha'la added that there are fears that the enemy forces will demolish a kindergarten and a park belonging to the village council under false pretenses. In a related development, Israeli settlers attacked an agricultural facility in the town of Al-Sawahra, southeast of occupied Quds, on Wednesday. The Quds Governorate reported that settlers stormed an agricultural facility belonging to the Salama Shakirat family and assaulted the sheep, leaving them homeless. They also smashed an agricultural tractor, broke windows, and damaged the contents of rooms. They also destroyed solar panels, surveillance cameras, and a fence surrounding the facility, as well as quantities of fodder. The Governorate stated that this attack is not the first of its kind, but rather part of a series of escalating violations against Jerusalemites in the area. Settlers had previously assaulted a farmer a few days earlier, amid the Zionist enemy's continued harassment of residents, prosecuting them for violations, and detaining some of them while on their land. The governorate held the Israeli enemy fully responsible for these crimes, citing its support for the settlers, its provision of protection, and its cover-up of their attacks. It noted that the Quds desert is being targeted by systematic settlement plans aimed at displacing its residents, but that the residents remain steadfast and cling to their lands despite ongoing displacement attempts.
