Today, Saturday, the Israeli occupation authorities forced a citizen to demolish his home in the town of Sur Baher, southeast of occupied Jerusalem.

According to local sources, the occupation authorities forced Fayez Amira to demolish his two-apartment home, under the pretext of building without a permit.

She added that citizen Amira was surprised by a notice from the occupation municipality to demolish the house, giving him only hours to carry out the demolition.

It's worth noting that the occupation authorities are forcing Palestinian citizens, particularly in occupied Jerusalem, to demolish their homes on their own, claiming they lack permits. Those who refuse to do so are subjected to demolition by occupation bulldozers, imposing exorbitant costs on the homeowner.

The Israeli municipality in Jerusalem refuses to grant Palestinians building permits and demolishes or forces them to demolish their homes. This practice violates international law and humanitarian principles that guarantee the right to housing. This practice is part of the Israeli occupation's systematic practice of forcibly displacing Palestinians from Jerusalem in exchange for expanding settlements in and around the city.
