The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) on Sunday forced a Jerusalemite citizen to demolish his house in Issawiya district in the holy city.
Rajaei Attiya the homeowner recently received a notice from the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) threatening to fine him and make him pay demolition expenses if he refused to raze the house with his own hands.
As always the IOA justified the measure by claiming that the house had been built with no license.
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 and for that reason they are denied house permits.
The IOA also imposes building restrictions on the Palestinian natives in Jerusalem and makes it hard for them to obtain construction licenses.
Israel’s systematic demolition of Palestinian homes in Occupied Jerusalem is believed to be aimed at psychologically destroying the Jerusalemite families in an attempt to force them to move from the holy city.
