Israeli bulldozers on Sunday knocked down a Palestinian commercial facility in Occupied Jerusalem for allegedly being unlicensed.
Local sources said that bulldozers belonging to Israel’s Jerusalem municipality accompanied by the police demolished a car wash in Beit Safafa town.
The municipality claimed that the owner of the car wash does not have a license and that the facility will obstruct work in a new light rail that is set to pass in the same area toward Gilo settlement in the south.
Palestinian structures built or expanded in Jerusalem are usually threatened with demolition by the Israeli municipality which refuses to give the Palestinians the necessary building permits. The settlement construction on the other side is on the rise.
