Palestinian sources in the holy city said that the occupation bulldozers leveled two homes in Beit Hanina suburb without allowing the inhabitants to get anything out of them.

They said that the bulldozers were escorted by a joint police and border police force that used hounds to terrorize the inhabitants, especially women and children, and force them out of their homes. The two homes were cordoned off before they were pulled down, the sources explained.

In Aisawia town, northeast of Jerusalem, IOA bulldozers knocked down a two-story building that was still under construction amidst violent confrontations with citizens who tried to stop the destruction.

Owner of the house Mohammed Dirbas said that he was handed a demolition notification two weeks ago for his 400 square meter home.

Khaled Amori, in charge of the file of Palestinian homes threatened with IOA destruction, described the demolition as "savage", and charged that it fell in line with the IOA's policy of ethnic cleansing that aims at forcing the Palestinian Jerusalemites to leave their homes and city in preparation for judaizing it.

Amori appealed to local and international legal and human rights foundations to step in and pressure the IOA into halting its repressive and coercive measures against the Palestinians in Jerusalem.
