The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) on Saturday morning forced a Palestinian citizen to demolish his own house in al-Wad street in the Old City of Jerusalem.
Nabih al-Basti the homeowner said that the Israeli municipality ordered him to demolish his house with his own hands to avoid exorbitant demolition expenses if municipal bulldozers came to knock it down.
Basti added that the demolition policy pursued by the Israeli municipality against Palestinian homes in the holy city is aimed to force the Jerusalemites to leave the city.
