HEBRON (Ma'an) -- Israeli authorities issued demolition orders for a home in the Hebron town of Yatta on Saturday, a local committee said.

Rateb al-Jabour, spokesman for the local committee against settlements, told Ma'an that officials from the civil administration were escorted into Yatta by soldiers to issue demolition orders for the home of Mahmoud Ibrahim Makhamra.

The Makhamra family received a demolition order for their home six years ago, al-Jabour added, but the order was suspended.

Twelve people live in the house, which is located in Area B of the West Bank.
