JERUSALEM, July 1, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation bulldozers Tuesday demolished a Palestinian-owned house in the town of Beit Hanina, north of Jerusalem city.

The Jerusalem Governorate reported that Israeli machinery demolished the home of a Jerusalemite resident, rendering his family homeless.

It added that the occupation forces also forced a Jerusalemite family in Silwan, south of Al-Aqsa Mosque, to self-demolish their own home.

According to the Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission, the occupation authorities carried out 23 demolition operations in the Jerusalem Governorate during May.

Palestinians in Jerusalem are forced to build without permits because the Israeli municipality discriminates against them and refuses to issue permits or places unreasonable conditions that they cannot afford to issue a permit.

At the same time, thousands of housing units are built for colonists in the city on appropriated Palestinian lands and are made easily accessible to them.
