The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) forced on Saturday a Palestinian citizen to demolish a section of his house in Jabel Mukaber neighborhood in Jerusalem at the pretext of unlicensed construction.
According to Wadi Hilweh Information Center Raja&rsquoiee Hussein demolished 40 square meters of his home which he had built five years ago after he received a demolition notice from the Israeli municipality.
Hussein added that the municipality ordered him to raze part of his house at his own expense if he wanted to avoid paying it exorbitant money if its demolition crews carried out the measure.
The IOA 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.
