Israeli bulldozers knock down Palestinian home under construction

Tuesday 22-November-2016

The Israeli occupation bulldozers on Tuesday morning knocked down a Palestinian home under construction in Jerusalem’s eastern village of al-Tour.

A PIC news correspondent said Israeli bulldozers demolished a home under construction owned by the Palestinian citizen Mahmoud al-Hadara in al-Tour under the pretext of unlicensed construction.

Hundreds of demolition orders have been issued by the Israeli Jerusalem municipality since the start of 2016 as part of a larger scheme of ethnic cleansing.

Thousands of Palestinians who have gone homeless for months have been forced to build shelters without licenses in the occupied territories due to the tough restrictions imposed by the Israeli occupation authorities on construction permits. Israeli settlers have meanwhile had an unrestricted access to building licenses.
