Israeli municipality launches demolition campaign in J’lem

Thursday 16-May-2019

The Israeli municipality in Occupied Jerusalem on Wednesday delivered over 20 demolition notices issued against buildings and structures in Issawiya district and Shu’fat refugee camp.

According to local sources municipal employees escorted by police forces took photos of different buildings and streets and took their measurements before handing Palestinian citizens summonses from the municipality.

The popular committee that provides Shu’fat refugee camp with services also received two demolition orders against an additional structure in its old building and the third floor of the social youth center at the pretext of unlicenced construction.

Head of the committee Mahmoud al-Sheikh said the committee had already obtained permits from UNRWA to build the annexe in the old building and the third floor of the social youth center because the lands are owned by the agency.
