Israeli authorities demolish Palestinian house in Ramla

Sunday 16-September-2018

Israeli bulldozers at dawn Sunday demolished a Palestinian residential building in Ramla city in the 1948 occupied Palestinian territories.

Palestinian local sources said that Israeli bulldozers accompanied by special police forces stormed al-Jawarish neighborhood in Ramla city and started to demolish a house owned by Abu Amer family.

The sources said that Israeli police threw a cordon around the area and prevented Palestinian citizens from approaching the house. The police claimed the house was built without an Israeli license.

Local residents said that the house was newly built for a Palestinian young man who is getting married soon.

Palestinians who make up about 30% of Ramla’s population protested the demolition and accused the Israeli-controlled municipality of racism and of putting obstacles to the Palestinians trying to obtain Israeli building permits.
