JERUSALEM (Ma'an) -- Israeli municipality officers issued five demolition orders in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan on Monday, a local group said.
The Wadi Hilweh Information Center said Israel's Jerusalem municipality attached five demolition orders to properties in the neighborhood, with owners given 30 days to appeal to Israeli courts.
Some of the buildings are under construction, while one property was built 45 years ago, the center said.
Israeli municipality officers, accompanied by armed forces, also took pictures of the properties.
One of the owners, Walid Ahmad Abed al-Razzaq, said his home was built 45 years ago and no new structures have been added. Nine members of his family currently live in the property.
Silwan has been a repeated site of Israeli settler incursions and attempts to evict Palestinian locals. more
