JERUSALEM, Tuesday, March 14, 2023 (WAFA) – 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.
