Israeli authorities on Monday demolished a two-storey house belonging to a Palestinian family in the occupied East Jerusalem neighbourhood of Issawiya, on the grounds of not having a building permit.
Muhammad Abu al-Hummus, a resident of Issawiya and local activist, told Wafa news that a number of Israeli military vehicles, bulldozers and soldiers imposed a cordon around the home of Hatem Hussein Abu Rayaleh, near the neighbourhood's eastern entrance, before demolition.
Abu Rayaleh’s home was demolished for the fourth time since 1999, according to Wafa. The owner was partially paralysed during the third demolition of his home in 2009, when he fell from a high altitude and broke his spine.
