Five Palestinian homes were knocked down by the Israeli occupation’s bulldozers in East Jerusalem on Monday morning.
Spokesperson for the Palestinian Bedouin communities Abu Imad said over ten Israeli army vehicles cordoned off Palestinian homes in al-Khan al-Ahmar area in Occupied Jerusalem before they demolished five mobile homes sheltering Palestinian families.
The demolitions have been carried out under the pretext of unlicensed construction.
According to Abu Imad the demolitions have been ongoing since the early morning hours.
Al-Khan al-Ahmar area is home to 20 caravans sheltering dozens of Palestinians.
The move reportedly makes part of larger scheme of ethnic cleansing pursued by the IOA so as to force Palestinians out of their homes and hold sway over the area in favor of illegal settlement expansion.
