The Israeli occupation forces demolished six commercial facilities in the Khalayleh neighborhood in the town of Al-Jib, northwest of occupied Jerusalem, under the pretext of building without a permit.

The Jerusalem Governorate stated in a statement on Thursday that the ownership of the facilities belongs to the brothers Mahmoud and Musa Mustafa Alqam, as these facilities constitute a source of livelihood for about 30 Jerusalemite families, and have been in existence since 2004.

She pointed out that the occupation forces stormed the neighborhood accompanied by demolition vehicles last Tuesday, where they completely surrounded the area and prevented citizens from approaching, before carrying out the demolition operation that targeted a butcher shop, a restaurant, a supermarket, a glass shop, and a stone-making workshop.
