The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) demolished on Tuesday a Palestinian-owned apartment building under construction in the east Jerusalem town of Beit Safafa at the pretext of unlicensed construction.
According to local sources Israeli police forces cordoned off the area where that building was located before bulldozers embarked on knocking it down.
The building was composed of four apartments and belonged to the family of Sankeret
The Jerusalemites have no choice but to build without licenses because there are no structural maps that respond to the natural increase in their numbers.
The IOA also imposes building restrictions on the Palestinian natives in Occupied Jerusalem and makes it hard for them to obtain construction licenses.
Israel’s systematic demolition of Palestinian homes in the holy city is believed to be aimed at psychologically destroying the Jerusalemite families in an attempt to force them to move from their city.
