The Israeli occupation authorities today demolished a Palestinian-owned house in the village of Nilin, west of Ramallah city, according to local sources, under the pretext it was built without a permit.

Soldiers, accompanying a bulldozer, raided the village and proceeded to demolish the house that was still in the construction stage, said the sources.

The Israeli military government does not allow Palestinian construction or development in the so-called Area C, which makes up more than 60 percent of the area of the occupied West Bank and which is under full Israeli military occupation.
