Israeli municipal authorities forced on Wednesday evening a Jerusalemite citizen to demolish his own house in Silwan town in occupied Jerusalem for allegedly being built without permit.
Silwan resident Majdi Abu Tayeh said that Israeli authorities gave him two days to demolish the house otherwise he will be forced to pay a heavy demolition fee.
Abu Tayeh lived in the home for the past four years along with his five-member family of whom four are children.
Along the same line Israeli bulldozers demolished another home belonging to the Silwan resident Issa Jaafra under the same pretext.
Eight family members including five children were left homeless after the demolition of the 70-square-meters house.
Israel uses the pretext of building without permit to carry out demolitions of Palestinian-owned homes s part of its displacement and Judaization policies.
