The Israeli municipality in Occupied Jerusalem notified several Palestinian citizens of its intents to demolish homes and buildings belongings to them in Issawiya district at the pretext they were built with no license.

The Israeli occupation authority refuse to allow the Palestinians to expand in their areas in east Jerusalem and reject construction applications filed by Jerusalemite citizens.

According to local sources employees from the Israeli municipality on Monday put up administrative demolition orders notifying several Issawiya residents of its intents to remove their homes commercial structures and al-dewaniya (reception hall used by Issawiya residents for social meetings and activities).

Al-dewaniya which was built about 12 years ago is located in the same building where there is a public center belonging to the Israeli municipality.
