The occupation authorities demolish two houses and displace 14 individuals
The occupation municipality's bulldozers demolished on Wednesday morning two houses in the neighborhood of Al-Sal'a in the village of Jabal Al-Mukabber south of Jerusalem under the pretext of building without a permit.
Wadi Hilweh Information Center was informed the occupation forces along with municipality employees and bulldozers raided the area of "Al-Mrooj- Al-Sal'a" in the village of Jabal Al-Mukabber and surrounded two houses owned by Islam Abbasi and his brother Islam. They emptied some of the houses' contents before demolishing them under the pretext of building without a permit.
Mousa Abbasi, Islam's father, explained to Wadi Hilweh Information Center that the occupation authorities along with municipality employees raided the houses of his two sons around 04:30 a.m. and surrounded them before evacuating the residents and proceeding with the demolition operation.
Abbasi said the family of his son Islam consists of 8 individuals (6 children) while the family of Imam consists of 6 individuals (4 children).
He added that the two houses were built in 2014 and have an area of 160 square meters. The landowners in the area of Al-Sal'a have been attempting to license 70 Dunoms of their lands (70000 square meters) for construction but to no avail.
He added that the family was able to extend and freeze previously issued demolition orders. The last extension was until mid-march, and the family filed a request to freeze the demolition order but the municipality never responded.
