Israel destroys East Jerusalem building housing 70 Palestinians

Israeli occupation forces attacked a residential building in East Jerusalem inhabited by around 70 Palestinians, claiming it was built without permits. The city’s municipality described this move as an attempt at forced displacement of the residents. Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir supervised the demolition operation, asserting that the building was illegal and that demolitions are increasing as part of a policy to impose a new demographic and urban reality in the city. The operation caused intense fear and terror among the residents, who were forcibly evacuated, with some facing difficult situations as the contents of their homes were destroyed and families were left searching for alternative shelter. This step is considered a serious escalation in the policy of demolishing homes and forced displacement, and it is being used in Israeli electoral propaganda, according to Palestinian sources.
