Ayn Al-Quds on Wadi Al-Homs demolitions
The program "Eye on Jerusalem" highlighted the campaign of building demolitions carried out by the Israeli occupation in Wadi al-Hummus neighborhood in occupied Jerusalem, where demolition orders have been issued against dozens of buildings under false pretenses. For years, residents of the neighborhood have faced repeated demolitions aimed at judaizing the city and displacing Palestinian residents, despite many of the buildings holding legal permits issued by Palestinian authorities. The occupation justifies these demolitions by claiming that the buildings threaten the security of the wall, choosing buildings at random to demolish in order to spread fear and empty the area of its inhabitants—especially as part of plans to zone off the area from the West Bank and confront settlement expansion. It is also noted that Palestinian and international legal efforts are underway to oppose these measures, and that families affected by confiscation are temporarily relocated to relatives’ homes. The report emphasizes that demolitions in Wadi al-Hummus are part of a settler-colonial scheme targeting the changing of Jerusalem’s identity, calling for defense of the Al-Aqsa Mosque as an Islamic and Arab cause, in opposition to Israeli policies which consider these actions as settlement attacks and assaults on the holy city.
