Local Editor
"Israeli" occupation forces demolished two Palestinian structures in different neighborhoods of the occupied West Bank's al-Quds district on Tuesday, according to a spokesperson from "Israel's" al-Quds/Jerusalem Municipality.
In the Jabal al-Mukabbir neighborhood, Zionist municipality forces demolished an allegedly "illegal structure" that was "built with unsuitable materials on land designated for public open space," the spokesperson told Ma'an News Agency.
It remained unclear exactly what kind of structure was demolished.
In Silwan, the municipality claimed that they "executed court orders to dismantle an illegal extension" to a Palestinian family's home.
Demolitions of structures and homes of landowner Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and East al-Quds have seen an unprecedented surge this year, with the number of structures demolished in the first half of 2016 well exceeding the total number of demolitions carried out in all of 2015.
More than 1,409 Palestinians have been displaced since the beginning of 2016 as a result of demolitions in the occupied lands, compared to 688 Palestinians displaced over the entirety of 2015, according to UN documentation.
Last week, "Israeli" occupation forces demolished a Palestinian home that was under construction, and sealed off restaurant in the occupied al-Quds area, leaving four families without a source of income.
