The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) on Tuesday morning demolished a three-story house belonging to the family of Tahhan in the Jerusalem district of Silwan and displaced its residents.
According to local sources Israeli police forces escorting a municipal crew encircled the house and embarked on removing its furniture before demolishing it.
Five families were living in that house which was built 20 years ago.
Last night the IOA forced a Jerusalemite citizen called Ibrahim Sayba’ah to knock down his own house in the holy city to avoid paying exorbitant demolition expenses and fines to the Israeli municipality.
