Israeli forces demolish structures near Jerusalem

Israeli forces Thursday demolished residential and commercial structures in the town of Anata, northeast of the occupied city of Jerusalem, local sources confirmed.

The sources added that the Israeli forces raided the neighborhood of al-Baq’aan in the aforementioned town, and demolished a two-story house owned by Jerusalemite resident Raed Fuheidat.

Additionally, the foruces also demolished a room attached to shack that was previously demolished this month.

Palestinians in occupied Jerusalem say they are forced to build without permit because the Israeli municipality rarely issues permits to the city’s original Palestinian citizens as a way to reduce their number by forcing them to leave it and find accommodation and work elsewhere.
