Zionist occupation troops force Palestinian citizen to demolish his home in Jerusalem

OCCUPIED PALESTINE, April 09 (YPA) – The Israeli occupation authorities forced, on Wednesday, a Palestinian citizen to demolish his home in the town of Beit Safafa, southeast of occupied Jerusalem.

Palestinian sources reported that the occupation municipality forced citizen Alaa Alian to demolish his two-story home.

The occupation authorities force citizens, especially in the city of Jerusalem, to demolish their homes on their own under the pretext of lacking a license and whoever refuses this measure, the occupation bulldozers demolish the house and impose heavy costs on the owner.

The occupation municipality in Jerusalem refuses to grant Palestinians building permits and demolishes or forces them to demolish their homes, in a procedure that contravenes international laws and humanitarian norms that guarantee the right to housing.

This is part of the occupation’s systematic practices to forcibly displace Palestinians from the city of Jerusalem in exchange for expanding settlements in the city and its surroundings.
