The Israeli occupation authorities forced the Palestinian citizen Jamal Abu Teir to demolish his own home in Occupied Jerusalem.
On Thursday the occupation authorities threatened to fine Abu Teir in case he does not demolish his 40-square-meter home.
Abu Teir said he demolished his home lest he be forced to pay demolition fees estimated at 50000 shekels.
The demolished building had been home to Abu Teir along with his wife and three sons.
Abu Teir added that he built the home so as to afford his newly-wed son a decent place to live in before it was reduced to mounds of rubble.
According to Abu Teir the move makes part of collective punishment policies pursued by the Israelis against Palestinians living in Occupied Jerusalem.
