Israeli occupation demolishes several structures and troches a Palestinian-owned car

OCCUPIED AL-QUDS, May.16, (ST)- Today, Israeli occupation forces demolished several structures in the town of al-Khader, to the south of the occupied West Bank city of Bethlehem, according to WAFA news agency.

The town mayor, Ibrahim Musa, told WAFA that Israeli occupation forces raided the town and demolished two sheds and an agricultural room belonging to a Palestinian family under the pretext they were built without a construction license.
Following the demolition, confrontations broke out between Palestinian youths and the Israeli occupation forces, during which the occupation forces fired tear gas canisters and sound bombs toward the youth.

No casualties were reported, however.

In another development, Jewish settlers torched a Palestinian-owned car in the village of Beit Iksa, northwest of occupied Jerusalem, according to local sources.
They said settlers broke into the village, torched a car owned by a local resident, and wrote racist graffiti on the walls of the house of another resident.

Ibrahim Zayed, the owner of the torched car, said the settlers set fire to his car and then wrote graffiti calling for the killing of Arabs before running away when residents chased them out.
