Clashes erupt in Jerusalem area as Israeli forces distribute demolition orders

JERUSALEM, May 14, 2017 (WAFA) – Clashes Sunday erupted between Palestinians in al-Matar neighborhood to the north of occupied Jerusalem and Israeli soldiers, after the latter stormed the area and handed notices to demolish four buildings there, according to witnesses.

WAFA correspondent reported on witnesses as saying Israeli forces stormed the neighbourhood and shut down a building, before handing demolition orders against four under-construction buildings in the area, provoking clashes with residents. No injuries were reported.

The demotion orders came under the pretext of being constructed too close to the apartheid wall, which separates the neighbourhood from Qalandia airport.

Forces also seized two vehicles belonging to residents in the neighbourhood.
