Jerusalem – Ma’an –

Israeli occupation government police, along with municipal workers, on Sunday evening carried out a large campaign against Palestinian homeowners in Jerusalem, ransacking 65 houses in different neighborhoods to hand families demolition orders.

Residents told Ma’an’s correspondent that some of these families had received the same notices before, such as the owner of the Al-Sunbula building in the Nusaiba neighborhood, which consists of 24 apartments, and a building owned by Thamin Abu Qabalah in Beit Hanina, north of Jerusalem, which has 15 apartments.

New demolition orders were handed over to Muhammad Abu Khudair related to a 12-apartment building he owns in Shu’fat, north of Jerusalem. Another 12-room block known as the Ghayth building was also served in Beit Hanina. Two new demolition orders were also handed over to two families living in the Wadi Qaddoum neighborhood in Silwan, south of Jerusalem.
