IOA displaces Jerusalemite family after razing its home

Wednesday 15-March-2023

The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) completed on Wednesday morning the demolition of two apartments belonging to a Jerusalemite family in Umm Tuba town south of the holy city.

According to the family of Abu Tir the Israeli municipality started on Tuesday to knock down its house which was composed of two apartments and finished today the demolition measure.

12 individuals from the family lived in the house which had been built two years ago.

The IOA has intensified its demolition campaign in recent months against Palestinian homes and structures across the holy city as part of its Judaization efforts.

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 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.
