JERUSALEM, December 7, 2025 (WAFA) – The Israeli occupation authorities on Sunday issued demolition notices for residential and agricultural structures southeast of occupied Jerusalem.

The Jerusalem Governorate said in a brief statement that the occupation authorities notified more than 10 residential and agricultural structures near the Arab al-Jahalin Bedouin community, southeast of occupied Jerusalem, of forced removal and demolition.

The Governorate noted that during November 2025, it recorded a new and serious escalation in the demolition and bulldozing policy carried out by the occupation authorities against Palestinians in the city.

A total of 27 demolitions and bulldozing operations were documented, including five self-demolitions in which residents were compelled to dismantle their own homes and facilities under threat of heavy fines, in addition to 21 demolitions carried out by the occupation municipality machinery and forces, as well as one bulldozing operation that targeted a plot of land.

It added that in the same month, 45 notices were recorded, including 43 demolition orders and one notice ordering forced removal, as well as the seizure of 77.608 dunums of land in the eastern part of the town of al-Issawiya.

It said the notices were concentrated in al-Walaja, the Old City, Wadi al-Hummus, al-Issawiya, and az-Za'ayyem, reflecting the occupation’s persistent effort to tighten its control over Jerusalem neighborhoods and reshape the city’s surroundings and contact zones.
