Four Palestinian families risk to go homeless in al-Bireh after the Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) threatened the demolition of their homes.
The four demolition notifications which were handed over by the IOA to the Palestinian Liaison targeted Palestinian homes in Jabal al-Tawil in al-Bireh.
The IOA gave the families a three-day time-limit to appeal the demolitions.
The targeted homes are located near the Israeli illegal settlement outpost of Psagot built on Palestinian lands in the area.
Palestinian citizen Fawaz Hamdan said his home was built 52 years ago after he obtained a construction permit from the Jordanian authorities prior to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank.
Hamdan said the IOA turned down his appeals under the pretext of Jewish Holidays despite the fact that the notifications were issued during the seven-day Jewish Passover.
The families have appealed to all concerned institutions to support them and work on invalidating the demolition orders.
Lawyer Nayela Atiyeh said “The settlement units built in Psagot outpost rather than the homes of the native Palestinian inhabitants should be the real targets of such demolition orders. Israeli terrorism should be over.”
