JERUSALEM, May 29, 2012 (WAFA) – Israeli bulldozers Tuesday demolished a gas station and a shop in Hizma, a town north of Jerusalem city, under the pretext of building without permit, according to local sources.

They said that Israeli bulldozers, under a large military force protection, demolished the gas station and shop, claiming it was built in a prohibited area due to its close location of the Israeli military crossing.

Israeli forces have previously demolished several gas stations and shops in the area under similar pretexts.
