Hundreds of Jerusalemite citizens performed the Friday prayer in the area of homes threatened with demolition in Sur Baher town southeast of Jerusalem in protest at the mass demolition orders issued by the Israeli occupation authority.
Following the Friday prayer a news conference was held by a number of noted Jerusalemite figures who strongly denounced the Israeli high court of justice for approving the demolition of dozens of homes in Sur Baher.
The higher court recently rejected an appeal filed by local residents against an Israeli decision ordering the demolition of 16 apartment buildings containing 100 housing units in Wadi Hems area of Sur Baher town.
