BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- Israeli forces demolished two Palestinian homes in occupied East Jerusalem on Monday, locals said.
In Beit Hanina, troops bulldozed the temporary residence of a man who took shelter there after he could not get a permit from the Israeli municipality to build his house, the official PA news agency Wafa reported.
In Silwan, Israeli forces tore down the house of Burhan Burqan, that was home to nine people.
"Israeli troops came at five in the morning to demolish the house and were done by 7 am. They also demolished our barn that had some poultry in it," Burqan said.
The two homes were "illegal, with court-issued demolition orders," an Israeli interior ministry spokeswoman told AFP. more
