RAMALLAH OCCUPIED JERUSALEM (PIC)– Jerusalem Municipality teams on Monday raided the town of Silwan south of Al-Aqsa Mosque and distributed several administrative demolition orders for residential and commercial installations.
Wadi Hilweh Information Center said in a statement that the Israeli municipal teams have distributed three administrative demolition orders against Palestinian buildings under the pretext of being built without permit.
It said that the municipal teams accompanied by the occupation police raided Silwan and handed over an administrative demolition order for a barber shop established on area of 25 square meters and a shop selling meat built on an area of about 25 square meters in the Shaheed Samer Sarhan Street in the town.
The Jerusalemite center added that the municipal teams raided a house belonging to the Abbasi family in Ain Louza neighborhood and ordered its owner to demolish a residential room he has recently built on an area of about nine meters.
The Information Center also stated that the Israeli police and army arrested in one day 115 Jerusalemite citizens after raiding their homes and their shops.
According to the center 40 Jerusalemites were arrested from Shuafat refugee camp and Beit Hanina northeast of Jerusalem after a raid on their homes and shops.
An eyewitness reported that a large Israeli force raided the Manara building in Tel al-Foul area in Beit Hanina and arrested 25 civilians and took them to the Mascoubiya detention center west of Jerusalem for interrogation.
The Manara building was built in 2003 and has 25 apartments inhabited by about 250 Palestinians.
The Israeli Municipality imposed on the inhabitants of the building a fine of one million and 400 thousand shekels and handed them over demolition notices as the Manara was built without license.
Wadi Hilweh Information Center noted that the Israeli occupation forces raided the Shuafat refugee camp and arrested seven Palestinians from their shops.
They also detained eight others from the West Bank and 75 Jerusalemites after raiding their homes on charges of illegal construction.
