Haaretz: After Nine Months, "Israel" Returns to Razing Palestinian Homes in Jerusalem

"Israeli" bulldozers have destroyed three unfinished buildings East Al Aqsa (Jerusalem) which reveals that the municipality is resuming house demolitions after a pause to encourage peace talks, Zionist newspaper Haaretz reported on Tuesday.

The paper added that the municipality said the razed structures were not homes, and they were illegally built and not populated, however, a Palestinian resident assured that one of the torn down structures was his own unfinished home, which he built illegally because he knew that the occupation municipality would not give him a permit.

Neighborhood residents said that the second structure was also a house while the third was a warehouse, according to the Zionist paper.

Due to international pressure, despite several previous Zionist violations on Palestinians residents' properties in Al Quds (Jerusalem), the occupying entity claimed it halted house demolitions in Al Quds (Jerusalem) since last year; however proceeded publicly its settlement construction.
