Pictures: Demolishing a residential building and displacing 8 individuals
The occupation municipality’s bulldozers demolished on Wednesday morning a residential building in the neighborhood of Ras Al-Amoud in Jerusalem under the pretext of building without a permit.
Wadi Hilweh Information Center explained that the municipality’s bulldozers along with dozens of occupation forces raided the neighborhood of Ras Al-Amoud on Wednesday morning and surrounded a building owned by Muntaser Abu Farha and his brother Mutasem. They closed the roads leading to the building before executing the demolition process.
Mutasem Abu Farha explained that the District Court issued a decision last Thursday to demolish the building under the pretext of building without a permit, but the family’s lawyer was able to obtain a decision on Tuesday morning to postpone the demolition for 5 days. On Tuesday night, the lawyer informed them that the decision he had obtained was revoked and the demolition will be executed.
Abu Farha added that the bulldozers along with the forces raided the building in the morning and demolished the building which consisted of two floors where Muntaser, his wife and three children (oldest is 14 and youngest is 2) and Mutasem, his wife and their 2-year old child lived.
Abu Farha added that the family had started emptying the apartments two days ago after the demolition order was issued.
