JERUSALEM, August 1, 2025 (WAFA) – The Israeli occupation authorities today forced a Palestinian resident of Jerusalem to demolish his own home in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Jabal al-Mukaber

Local sources told WAFA that Adham Bassam Oweisat began demolishing his house with his own hands following an order issued by the Israeli municipality of West Jerusalem, under the pretext of lacking a building permit.

The house, which was built in 2019, spans no more than 50 square meters.

Palestinians in occupied Jerusalem are often compelled to demolish their own homes to avoid incurring heavy fines if the Israeli municipality carries out the demolition itself.
