The Israel occupation forces destroyed two Palestinian homes in Jericho today, the Palestinian Information Centre has reported.

Local sources said that occupation soldiers escorted heavy machinery into the village of Nuwaima and demolished two houses owned by Mohammed Omar. They noted that the occupation regime has served more than 70 demolition notices in Nuwaima and another village called Duyuk Al-Fawqa, both of which are in the Jericho area.

Moreover, Israeli soldiers and settlers wreaked havoc on ten acres of farmland in Nuwaima just two days ago and destroyed the water network there.

All of Israel’s settlers and the settlements in which they live across the occupied Palestinian territories are illegal under the Fourth Geneva Convention.
