The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) displaced on Wednesday a Jerusalemite family after forcing it to demolish its own home in the Old City.
According to Sanad al-Ajlouni the Israeli municipality forced him to demolish his own house which is composed of one room in as-Saadiya neighborhood in the Old City of Jerusalem at the pretext of unlicensed construction.
A family of four was living in that small house which was built about eight years ago.
The homeowner added that the IOA forced him to pay about 100000 shekels in fines for not having a construction license.
Hundreds of Jerusalemite homes are threatened with demolition or appropriation as part of Israel’s Judaization plans in the occupied holy city.
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.
