JERUSALEM, February 4, 2025 (WAFA) - Israeli occupation forces Tuesday issued a notification on the demolition of a Palestinian-owned house in the town of Silwan, in occupied Jerusalem.
The Jerusalem Governorate said that the occupation forces stormed al-Abbasiya neighborhood in the town of Silwan, and handed local resident Khaled Al-Zeer a demolition notice for his house.
According to a report by the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, the occupation authorities carried out 76 demolition operations in the West Bank, including occupied Jerusalem, during the month of January 2025, affecting 126 facilities, including 74 inhabited homes, 4 uninhabited ones, and 29 agricultural and other facilities, and notified the demolition of 131 other facilities.
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.
