A Palestinian family from Jabel Mukaber neighborhood on Wednesday resumed the demolition of its own house in compliance with an order issued by the Israeli municipality in Occupied Jerusalem.
Sami Mashahrah a member of the family said that an Israeli municipal crew recently stormed his 60-square-meter house and forced them to demolish it to avoid paying exorbitant money to the municipality if it carried out the demolition.
Sami lives with his mother and wife in this small house and they have no other place to live in.
Another Jerusalemite homeowner called Ibrahim Mashahrah who lives near the house of Sami also received a similar demolition notice from the municipality ordering him to raze his home.
Recently the Israeli municipality forced the families of Nassar and Sarri to demolish their own homes in Jabel Mukaber to avoid incurring municipal demolition expenses.
