Jerusalem:312 buildings to be demolished by ZOA
Al Qassam website/ Agencies-The Jerusalemite institution for the development of the society has said that the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) controlled municipality of Jerusalem was planning to demolish 312 buildings in eastern Jerusalem.
The institution in a press release said that the demolitions would take place in Silwan and nearby suburbs such as Bustan, Ras Al-Amud and Thawri.
It said that the plan falls in line with the municipality's scheme to build the so-called City of David in Bustan suburb in the heart of eastern Jerusalem and in the vicinity of the Aqsa Mosque.
The institution said that it obtained a detailed map that was leaked from the municipality outlining the number of Palestinian buildings to be razed in the upcoming period.
It noted that Israeli violations against the Jerusalemites have noticeably increased since the start of 2010 topped by tens of demolition orders, confiscation of land and declaration of new settlement schemes.
It warned that the plan also falls in line with the IOA attempt to control the Aqsa Mosque especially following the inauguration of the ruin synagogue in Jerusalem around three weeks ago.
According to IDMC statistics which show that the total number of demolitions in the period between 1967- 2009 reached 24,145 but the most dangerous here is that 60,000 Palestinians in Jerusalem alone are at risk of displacement, due to the possible home demolitions by the Israeli authorities .This recorded number is still increasing dramatically due to construction of Separation wall and associated regime, military incursions, revocation of residency rights, settlement expansion and settler violence, effects of closure regime.
