Zionist troops on Tuesday demolished a Palestinian makeshift factory near Ramallah in the occupied West Bank under the pretext that it had been built without a permit, one of his owners said.

"An Israeli military force backed by a bulldozer forced their way into Yasamin neighborhood in Al-Bireh town in the first hours of the day and demolished the structure," Mahdi al-Khatib told media outlets.

The makeshift building housed a factory specialized in manufacturing steel doors, he said, noted that the demolition cost the owners around $64,000 in losses.

The Zionist authorities are yet to comment on the demolition.

Yasamin neighborhood falls within "Area C," which covers nearly two thirds of the West Bank and remains under the Zionist full security control.
