On Friday afternoon, the Israeli occupation municipality in Jerusalem forced a Palestinian to demolish his house in the town of Umm Tuba, south of Jerusalem.
Local sources reported that the occupation municipality forced Al-Maqdisi Ibrahim Abu Tair to self-demolish his house, knowing that he and his family had been sheltering him for 15 years.
Jerusalemites are forced to self-demolish their homes to avoid paying heavy fines if the occupation demolishes them, sometimes amounting to tens of thousands of dollars.
