The Israeli municipal authority in Occupied Jerusalem demolished on Tuesday morning the house of Abu Asnainah family in Silwan district south of the Aqsa Mosque for the second consecutive time.
Local sources told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that Israeli bulldozers knocked down the house of Abdul-Karim Abu Asnainah in Silwan once again after he had to build it partially following its demolition last week.
Bulldozers escorted by police troops demolished last Tuesday the house but later the owner with help from pro-Aqsa activists and local residents managed to rebuild it in order to accommodate his family.
The house is located in al-Bustan neighborhood of Silwan where 88 Palestinian homes are threatened with demolition. The Israeli municipality says it wants to build a park for Jewish settlers in place of those homes.
Israel pursues a systematic demolition policy against Palestinian homes in east Jerusalem especially in the Old City and its vicinity as part of its plan to Judaize its neighborhoods and bring more Jews to live there.
