13 Palestinians homeless as Israelis demolish European-funded home

Tuesday 20-February-2018

The Israeli military demolished on Tuesday a Palestinian home in the Bedouin community of Jabal al-Baba to the east of Occupied Jerusalem and detained a Palestinian youth from the area.

Activist Atallah al-Jahaleen said that Israeli forces escorted by civil administration crews rolled into Jabal al-Baba and demolished the structure owned by Hani Abu Aweida under the pretext that it was built without a permit.

Al-Jahaleen added that at least 13 members have been taking shelter at the home which was demolished without prior notifications.

At the same time Palestinian young man Ghassan al-Jahaleen was kidnapped by the Israeli forces shortly after they backtracked from Jabal al-Baba.

Bedouin homes communities and donor-funded facilities in Occupied Jerusalem are subject to continuous Israeli destruction under the guise of unlicensed construction.
