JERUSALEM, January 8, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation Wednesday authorities forced a Jerusalemite to demolish his home in Wadi al-Rababa neighborhood in Silwan town, south of Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Shadi Samreen said that the Israeli occupation municipality notified him of the demolition of his home under the pretext of building without a permit, which prompted him to demolish it himself, to avoid the exorbitant costs imposed by the municipality if it carried out the demolition.
He explained that he has been living in the house since 2014, along with his wife and three children.
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.
