Bulldozers of the Israeli municipality of West Jerusalem today tore down a two-apartment building belonging to a Palestinian man and his sister in Sur Baher neighborhood to the south of occupied Jerusalem under the pretext of construction without a permit, according to local sources.
As a result of the demolition, 12 people were displaced, said the sources.
The apartments were 90 square meters each.
The Israeli demolition policy in occupied Jerusalem has recently witnessed a significant rise; including the demolition of homes and issuance of demolition orders citing the lack of an Israeli-issued permit.
