The municipality’s bulldozers demolished the house of Mohammad Bashir. His father explained that the family built the house five years ago, and a fine of 50,000 shekels was imposed on it. He was able to postpone and freeze the demolition until a final decision was made and the demolition was implemented on Wednesday morning.
Bashir added: "We built the house on the land adjacent to our house, and Mohammad was supposed to live in it after 3 months. He is getting married and was preparing his house to live in it, and it has been fully prepared, but today the bulldozers demolished the house and the dream."
After the demolition was completed, clashes erupted between the forces and the youths, and the forces fired tear gas and rubber bullets in the area.
