New houses threatened with demolition in Jerusalem

Wednesday 8-August-2018

Israeli-controlled Jerusalem municipality on Wednesday issued demolition notices against residential buildings in al-Isawiya town in Occupied Jerusalem.

Activist Mohammed Abu al-Hummus said that municipality crews accompanied by the Israeli police stormed the town at daybreak and distributed demolition notices against a number of houses and apartments for allegedly being built without license.

Abu al-Hummus said that all the notices distributed are administrative which means that the demolition can be carried out at any moment.

Al-Isawiya’s institutions called on legal organizations and those concerned to urgently form legal committees to follow up the demolition cases.

Abu al-Hummus noted that the Israeli municipality usually procrastinates in issuing the necessary permits and licenses needed by al-Isawiya residents.

In another context the Israeli police at dawn Wednesday launched a raid campaign in al-Isawiya arrested four Palestinians and summonsed a child for interrogation.
