Israeli bulldozers destroy agricultural facility in O.J’lem

Israeli bulldozers destroyed Tuesday morning a Palestinian-owned facility southeast of occupied Jerusalem. Quds Press affirmed that Israeli bulldozers stormed Sur Baher town under military protection and surrounded a local agriculture facility before starting the demolition process under the pretext of being built without permit.

Because of the Israeli government’s complex and discriminatory building regulations, Palestinian Jerusalemites are often forced to build or extend their homes without permits.  Meanwhile, Israeli construction of settlements intended solely for occupancy by Israeli Jewish residents continues unabated on Palestinian land in and around Jerusalem.
