The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) demolished on Wednesday morning a commercial facility in the east Jerusalem town of Shuafat at the pretext of unlicensed construction.
According to local sources Israeli bulldozers escorted by police forces demolished a car wash belonging to Sadeq Abu Jum’ah near the Shuafat checkpoint.
The Israeli municipality often forces Jerusalemite citizens to carry out demolition orders against their homes at their own expense or they will face heavy demolition expenses and fines if they refuse to comply.
Meanwhile the IOA is making preparations to start building thousands of housing units for Jewish settlers in the West Bank and Jerusalem.
According to Ynet website the Israeli army’s civil administration will approve a plan for the building of over 7000 settler homes in the West Bank and Jerusalem.
Thousands of these units will be built outside the main settlement blocs including 400 in Netiv Ha’avot outpost in the southwest of Bethlehem that was evacuated in 2018.
