JERUSALEM, December 11, 2016 (WAFA) - Staff from the Israeli municipality of West Jerusalem Sunday notified Palestinians of their intention to demolish a number of their homes in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of al-Issawiyeh, under the pretext of being built without an Israeli-issued permit.
WAFA correspondent said a large Israeli forces, along with a municipality staff, stormed the neighborhood before proceeding to hand demolition notices to Palestinian residents.
Residents Eyad al-Sayyed, Ahmad Mahmoud, and Khaled Mahmoud, were handed demolition notices for their homes.
The notices gave them a day and a half to evict the the homes as a prelude to demolish them.
To be noted, Israeli authorities rarely issue construction permits to the original Palestinian inhabitants of Jerusalem, forcing many of them to embark on construction without an Israeli permit.
