LONDON: Israeli authorities demolished on Monday four Palestinian structures in the town of Al-Judeira, north of occupied East Jerusalem, according to the Palestinian Authority’s Jerusalem Governorate.
All the structures were demolished under the pretense that they were built without a construction permit. These included a two-story house, a park, a wooden shack, and boundary fences.
The governorate said that it is part of a continuous and systematic Israeli policy to erase the Palestinian presence from areas of Jerusalem.
On Monday, Israeli forces issued demolition notices for three residential buildings in the town of Qalandia, located northwest of East Jerusalem. Israeli crews, with military support, stormed the eastern part of Qalandia and delivered the notices to residents of three buildings with about 12 apartments, citing lack of permits, according to Wafa news agency.
Israel regularly denies Palestinians building permits, while illegally expanding Jewish settlements in Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank.
