JERUSALEM, Monday, December 14, 2020 (WAFA) – Israeli authorities dismantled today two Palestinian-owned residential structures in al-Za’atra area, near the town of az-Za'ayyem, northeast of the occupied city of Jerusalem.

WAFA correspondent said Israeli forces dismantled two 45-square-meter structures built by siblings Murad and Emran Za'atra about three months ago and seized their equipment.

Dawoud al-Jahaleen, a Fatah official, told WAFA the ongoing demolitions by Israeli occupation authorities in this area come as part of the occupation's plans and attempts to displace the indigenous Palestinian residents from the area and eliminate Jerusalem's Bedouin communities in favor of settlement expansion.
