Palestinian family’s “only source of income” demolished by Israelis

Tuesday 19-September-2017

Israeli bulldozers on Tuesday morning knocked down a Palestinian commercial facility north of Occupied Jerusalem.

The building owner Osama Badr said Israeli police forces and border guards escorted by heavily-equipped bulldozers cordoned off his auto wash located in Beit Hanina before they proceeded with the demolition.

Badr added that the demolition was carried out under the pretext of unlicensed construction in the third such move executed over recent months.

“The car wash is the only source of income for my family and children” said the owner.

On Monday Israeli civil defense crews stormed Khan al-Ahmer Bedouin community east of Occupied Jerusalem and notified the demolition of a number of Palestinian homes and civilian facilities.

A Palestinian building was razed to the ground in al-Za’im village east of Occupied Jerusalem while another located in the lower floor sustained heavy material damage as a result of the arbitrary demolition.
