Israeli authorities on Sunday forced a Palestinian citizen to demolish his own house in al-Tira City in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1948.
Local sources said that Sari Masarwa had to demolish his house which is still under construction based on an order by the Israeli authorities.
Masarwa was forced to demolish his home to avoid paying a heavy fine estimated at 340000 NIS.
Israeli demolition campaigns over “unlicensed construction” have seen a noticeable rise lately in al-Tira according to local residents.
