"Israeli" bulldozers demolished three Palestinian homes and three structures used for livestock in al-Tur east of the Old City of al-Quds on Tuesday, residents said.

’Israel’ Demolishes 3 Palestinian Homes, Leaves Dozens HomelessThey said bulldozers of the Beit El settlement municipality were escorted by "Israeli" occupation forces into al-Tur, where they demolished houses belonging to the al-Zari family, leaving 23 Palestinians homeless.

The "Israeli" officers first destroyed the main doors of the houses and forcibly evicted residents, homeowner Khader al-Zari said.

""Israeli" forces broke the main doors, forcibly evicted us and did not allow us to take out furniture or any possessions, but instead gave their workers 30 minutes to take our possessions out of the houses," al-Zari said.

Several pieces of furniture were still inside the houses as they were demolished, he added.
Al-Zari said the houses and structures were built in the 80s, and that the family had been attempting to obtain the necessary permits and licenses from the so-called "Israeli" "civil" administration for years.
He said the family had paid over 150,000 shekels [about $40,000] for lawyers and engineers in order to escape demolition, "but to no avail."

"Israeli" settlers also moved into 10 new homes in Occupied East al-Quds on Monday, activists said, in spite of fierce local opposition and international condemnation of such takeovers.

According to Jawad Siyyam, a Palestinian activist who heads the Silwan Community Center, a group of Zionist settlers moved into two buildings in the neighborhood.

"Israel" recently approved the construction of more than 2,600 settler units in east al-Quds, prompting Washington - "Israel's" closest and most powerful ally - to express its "deep concern" over the plans.

This comes as "Israeli" occupation forces detained a Palestinian journalist in the Ramallah village of Nilin on Monday.
Mustafa al-Khawaja, a reporter for al-Aqsa TV, was detained after "Israeli" forces raided his home.

He was assaulted during the arrest, witnesses said.

"Israeli" forces have also detained three Palestinians in the occupied West Bank overnight over their alleged involvement in "attacks against "Israeli" targets," according to the "Israeli" military.
