The Israeli occupation bulldozers on Monday continued the demolition of Palestinian structures in East Jerusalem under the pretext of unlicensed construction.
Owner of one of the demolished structures Ahmad al-Serkhi said Israeli army vehicles escorted by police forces rolled into al-Sal’a neighborhood in Jabal al-Mukabbir town and continued the demolition process which started on Saturday after the occupation authorities ordered the owners to self-demolish their own structures.
The targeted structures included a carwash a cell phones shop a horse barn a diesel store and an automobile repair shop.
The Israeli municipality threatened to subject the owners to harsh penalties in case they do not carry out the demolition on their own.
The targeted structures cover an area of 1000 meters.
At least 18 Palestinian buildings have been knocked down by the occupation authorities since the start of 2017.
