Jerusalem Municipality destroys the home of two families in East
Jerusalem

On Wednesday, 13 September 2017, Jerusalem Municipality officials
arrived at the neighborhood of Ras al-‘Amud in East Jerusalem, escorted
by Border Police. They bulldozed a two-story, two-apartment building to
the ground, leaving eight people, four of them minors, homeless. The
pretext for the demolition was lack of building permits, even though it
is the Israeli authorities that deny Palestinian legal construction in
East Jerusalem. The Israeli authorities have already demolished 45 homes
in East Jerusalem since the beginning of the year, leaving 126 people,
including 70 minors, without a roof over their heads.
