The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) displaced on Saturday a Palestinian family of six members after forcing it to demolish its house in Jabel Mukaber neighborhood in east Jerusalem at the pretext of unlicensed construction.
The homeowner, Ahmed al-Qanbar, said he had to knock down his house where he lived with his wife and four kids to avoid paying the Israeli municipality exorbitant money if its demolition crews carried out the measure.
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 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.
