IOA razes storehouses in Issawiya district

Sunday 23-August-2020

The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) on Sunday morning demolished storehouses in Issawiya district northeast of the Old City of Jerusalem.

According to local sources the structures belonged to Mohamed Muheisen and were demolished at the pretext of unlicensed construction.

Palestinians in east Jerusalem are forced to build without permits due to the Israeli municipality’s refusal to grant them building permits or approve zoning plans for their areas.

Issawiya is one of many Palestinian areas in east Jerusalem that are facing home demolitions and displacement campaigns as part of Israel’s Judaization activities in the holy city.
