Occupation forces tear down tent for Elian family in Al-Quds
Staff from the Israeli municipality of West Al-Quds accompanied by a police escort broke into the tent, cordoned off the area, asked its residents to leave and proceeded to tear it down.
Israeli occupation forces tore down a tent, which was set up two weeks ago by members of the Elian family in the occupied Jerusalem (Al-Quds) neighborhood of al-Isawiya on the rubble of their home, which was demolished by the Israeli municipality at that time.
The family had set up the tent as a temporary shelter on the rubble of their demolished home.
Zionist regime denies permits for Palestinians to build on their own land or to expand existing houses to accommodate natural growth, particularly in Al-Quds and Area C, which constitutes 60 percent of the occupied West Bank and falls under full Israeli military rule, forcing residents to build without obtaining rarely-granted permits to provide shelters for their families.
On the other hand, Zionist regime builds thousands of housing units for Israeli-only illegal settlements spread throughout the occupied West Bank and East Al-Quds.
