JERUSALEM, September 8, 2013
(WAFA) – The West Jerusalem Municipality Sunday issued an order of demolishing
to the Wadi Hilweh playground in the town of Silwan, south of Jerusalem, in
order to turn it into a parking lot for settlers’ use.
Mahmoud Qara’in of the Wadi
Hilweh Information Center told WAFA that the Municipality has notified the
residents with the demolishing of the 850-square-meter playground as well as a
20-square-meter room used for storage.
He pointed out that in 2011, the
Israeli authorities demolished the same room and razed sections of the
playground.
Qarain said that Wadi Hilweh
residents filed a lawsuit over the playground case, to which Israeli authorities
responded with a decision to take over the playground.
