The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) forced on Saturday a Palestinian citizen to demolish his own house in the east Jerusalem village of Umm Tuba at the pretext of unlicensed construction, and announced its intent to demolish an entire Jerusalemite village.

Local sources said that the Israeli municipality forced Ahmed Abu Tair to knock down his house in Umm Tuba at his own expense to avoid paying fines and demolition costs if its crews carried out the measure.

Earlier, the Israeli municipality delivered demolition notices against all the Palestinian homes in Nuaman village, northeast of Jerusalem. 45 homes and one mosque are now threatened with destruction.

Al-Nuaman is a small village located within the boundaries of east Jerusalem, but the Israeli occupation isolated it from the holy city with a separation wall and set up a military checkpoint at its entrance to control the movement of local residents.

Hundreds of Jerusalemite homes are threatened with demolition or appropriation as part of Israel’s Judaization plans in the occupied holy city.
