Israeli forces delivered this morning military demolition and stop-construction orders against several structures in al-Walaja village, west of Bethlehem city, said a local source.
Ibrahim Awadallah, a local activist, said Israeli forces delivered military orders to stop the construction and demolish three houses in Jabal al-Rwisat area of the village, purportedly for being built without licenses.
The owners of the houses slated for demolition were given time to carry out the demolition by themselves or risk paying exorbitant demolition costs if done by the army.
Meanwhile, Israeli troops stormed Khallat Samak area in the village, where they handed military orders to stop the construction and demolish a water well and livestock barns.
Yesterday, similar orders were issued against a house under construction and four agricultural rooms in the same village.
Located west of Bethlehem, 97 percent of the area of al-Walaja village is isolated by a section of Israel’s apartheid wall. The majority of this land is agricultural land, forests and open spaces.
The village is flanked by two illegal Israeli colonial settlements - Gilo from the east and Har Gilo from the south.

Israeli navy Wednesday morning opened fire towards Palestinian fishermen sailing offshore As-Sudaniya, northwest of Gaza city, and farmers, southeast of Gaza city, WAFA correspondent reported.
He confirmed that the fishermen were sailing only three nautical miles offshore the area when Israeli naval boats opened gunfire and water hoses towards them.
The fishermen had to leave the water and abruptly end their fishing mission, which is their sole source of livelihood. No injuries were reported though.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces manning the border fence fired live rounds and tear gas at a group of farmers who were tending to their groves to the east of the al-Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza city.
The farmers were forced to leave their groves and no injuries were reported among them.
Fourteen years following the Israeli “disengagement” from Gaza, Israel has not actually disengaged from Gaza; it still maintains control of its land borders, access to the sea and airspace.
Two million Palestinians live the Gaza Strip, which has been subjected to a punishing and crippling Israeli blockade for 12 years and repeated onslaughts that have heavily damaged much of the enclave’s infrastructure.
Gaza’s 2-million population remains under “remote control” occupation and a strict siege, which has destroyed the local economy, strangled Palestinian livelihoods, plunged them into unprecedented rates of unemployment and poverty, and cut off from the rest of the occupied Palestinian territories and the wider world.
Gaza remains occupied territory, having no control over its borders, territorial waters or airspace.
Meanwhile, Israel upholds very few of its responsibilities as the occupying power, failing to provide for the basic needs of Palestinian civilians living in the territory.
Every two in three Palestinians in Gaza is a refugee from lands inside what is now Israel. That government forbids them from exercising their right to return as enshrined in international law because they are not Jews.
