JERUSALEM– Israeli authorities today notified of its intentions to demolish a number of privately-owned Palestinian houses in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of al-Tur, according to WAFA correspondent.
Israeli police, accompanied by staff of the Israeli municipality of West Jerusalem, stormed various neighborhoods in al-Tur and placed demolition notices against a number of homes in the area after photographing them.
Palestinians in occupied Jerusalem say they are forced to build without permit because the Israeli municipality rarely issues permits to the city’s original Palestinian citizens as a way to reduce their number by forcing them to leave it and find accommodation and work elsewhere.
