Israel’s attacks on Gaza have killed at least 28,576 Palestinians and wounded 68,291 others since October 7. The death toll in Israel from the October 7 Hamas-led attacks stands at 1,139.
The Israeli-run Jerusalem municipality has carried out yet another demolition of Palestinian homes in occupied East Jerusalem.
A structure used to house workers at an open site that sells construction materials in Wadi el-Joz in occupied East Jerusalem was demolished on Monday to make way for a "park," read a sign left at the site.
Several signs were placed near the location of the demolition, notifying the public that the area is "owned" by the Jerusalem municipality and that the Nature and Parks Authority is conducting work to "develop it for the benefit of the public."
Earlier in the month, municipal crews demolished three homes in the same area in Wadi el-Joz belonging to Palestinians for lack of a building permit. Palestinian residents and rights groups say the Israeli authorities' direction is evident: Clear as many homes from the area as possible and deny residential development to Palestinians.
At least 64 structures have been demolished so far this year in East Jerusalem alone.
