OCCUPIED JERUSALEM (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Israeli authorities on Sunday issued a final demolition order for the home of Palestinian citizen Mousa Nihad Badran in the Al-Bustan neighborhood of Silwan, Occupied Jerusalem.
He has been ordered to self-demolish his home within 21 days, or else be forced to cover the entire cost of its demolition.
Since 7 October 2023, more than 33 homes have been demolished in Al-Bustan, as part of a systematic displacement policy that threatens dozens of Palestinian families in the area.
According to data from the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, Israeli forces carried out 74 demolition operations in May alone, affecting 121 structures, including 60 residential units (inhabited and uninhabited) and 37 agricultural facilities, across the occupied West Bank, including Jerusalem.
Silwan is one of the most targeted areas in occupied East Jerusalem for demolition and land confiscation by Israeli authorities.
Both international and Palestinian human rights organizations have confirmed that the Israeli occupation deliberately demolishes homes and restricts Palestinian construction in East Jerusalem, while simultaneously accelerating settlement construction on occupied Palestinian land.
