DayofPal-The Israeli occupation forces stormed Beit Jala city, west of Bethlehem, and issued a demolition notice for a church located on Palestinian-owned land for Qaisiya family, on Monday evening.
The church was constructed from wooden panels by activists of the popular resistance, in collaboration with the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission and the Makhrour Landowners Committee.
The structure was erected on Palestinian-owned land under threat of confiscation, intended to serve as a poignant reminder of the ongoing suffering of the Palestinian people amid escalating Israeli confiscation and demolition policies.
In July, colonial Israeli settlers forcibly occupied the land belonging to Ramzi Qaisiya in the Makhrour area, forcing him and his family to leave at gunpoint, despite their possession of documents affirming their ownership of the land.
The West Bank’s town of Beit Jala has been an epicenter of confrontation between Palestinian residents and colonial Israeli settlers.
A French-Palestinian family in the Makhrour valley in the West Bank has been campaigning for years against the expropriation of their land.
Israeli settlers seized the land at the end of July, amid a drastic acceleration of settlements in the Palestinian territory since the start of the war in Gaza.
