Jerusalemite agricultural commercial facilities demolished

Tuesday 15-November-2016

Israeli military bulldozers on Tuesday morning demolished agricultural and commercial structures in Silwan town and Jabal al-Mukabbir neighborhood.

Jerusalemite sources reported that an agricultural facility owned by Alaa Shweiki was demolished at dawn today under the pretext of being built without permit.

Shweiki affirmed that Israeli military bulldozers demolished a shed built on an area of 200 dunums roofed with steel tubes and tin sheets and used as horse stable as well as a shack he uses to store agricultural equipment.

The structures Shweiki said were built five years ago. He added that he had previously paid a fine of 40000 shekels two years ago for not having obtained a proper construction license.

Meanwhile a commercial store was also demolished in Jabal al-Mukabbir neighborhood south of occupied Jerusalem.

Nearly 200 Palestinian facilities were demolished in occupied Jerusalem since the beginning of 2016.
