HEBRON, December 13, 2016 (WAFA) – Israeli forces on Tuesday razed and destroyed a Palestinian-owned stone-cutting factory in the town of Samou, south of Hebron in the West Bank, according to sources at the town’s municipality.

Israeli forces accompanied by a bulldozer raided the quarry owned by Mohammad Daghamin under the pretext it was constructed in Area C of the West Bank, which is under complete Israeli control.

The bulldozer leveled the quarry and destroyed everything there, said the sources.

They said soldiers had raided the same quarry few months ago and seized its machines. It however returned them after the owner paid around $13,000 for them.
