Demolishing residential apartments and sweeping roads in Jerusalem
The occupation’s bulldozers demolished two apartments inside a residential building in Shu'fat neighborhood north of Jerusalem, owned by Muhtaseb family, under the pretext of building without a permit.
Wadi Hilweh Information Center learned that the bulldozers demolished a "roof" consisting of two apartments belonging to Muhtaseb family; each apartment was 100 square meters.
The family explained that the construction process was completed about three months ago, and after preparing the apartments to move-in, the municipality issued a self-demolition order, and the family demolished parts of them, and was surprised by the occupation authorities storming the residential building and completely demolishing the apartments without prior notice.

The family added that the apartment, which is on the second floor, had an area of 100 square meters.
