For the first time, the Israeli occupation destroys homes in Jerusalem during the month of Ramadan – the seventh day

The Israeli occupation authorities demolished homes in East Jerusalem during the first week of the blessed month of Ramadan for the first time.

The Israeli human rights organization “Air Amim”, which is non -governmental, said, according to the Palestinian News Agency (Wafa), that the Israeli occupation authorities demolished homes in East Jerusalem during the first week of the holy month of Ramadan, a month that Israel previously refrained from carrying out demolitions due to its religious sensitivity.

The occupation demolished four buildings: a residential house in the town of Beit Hanina and three apartments in the town of Al -Issawiya, and the demolitions included the destruction of an apartment that was housing farmers, in addition to agricultural facilities, walls and doors, and this may cause 6 families to lose their livelihood, and the initial economic damage is estimated at more than two million dollars.

The organization’s researcher Aviv Tatski said that for the first time, Israel has violated the custom for years and carried out demolitions during the month of Ramadan, a sacred month for millions of Muslims around the world, noting that it is a dangerous precedent that deepens the suffering of the inhabitants of East Jerusalem, who are forced to build without licenses due to the Israeli discriminatory planning policy.

He added that instead of harsh demolitions, it is time to develop structural plans that allow Palestinians to obtain legal construction permits.
During the month of February, Al -Quds Governorate monitored 31 demolitions and bulldozing operations, including 6 forced self -demolitions, as the Palestinians were forced to demolish their homes in order to avoid pushing heavy fines, 18 demolitions using military vehicles, and 7 bulldozing operations targeting lands and streets.

In the context, the occupation forces notified the seizure of 300 dunums of the lands of the village of Al -Arqa, west of Jenin, adjacent to the chapter and racial expansion wall.

The head of the village council in the ethnicity said that the occupation forces handed over notifications to the seizure of 300 dunums of their agricultural lands adjacent to the wall, which deprives farmers of their only source of livelihood.

In the most recent statistic issued by the Wall and Settlement Resistance Authority for the month of February, the occupation and its settlers carried out 1705 attacks during last February, in the continuation of the continuous series of terrorism against the Palestinian people, their lands and properties, where the overall attacks in the governorates of Nablus focused with 300 attacks, and Hebron with 267 attacks, and Ramallah with 263 attacks.

In Tubas, the occupation forces arrested a young man from the town of Aqaba, north of Tubas.

The director of the prisoner club in Tubas, Kamal Bani Odeh, said that the occupation arrested the young Sameh Adnan Al -Shawish from punishment after he was summoned to investigate, in Salem Al -Ahdali camp.
