Israeli occupation forces demolished two homes in Beit Hanina, north of occupied Jerusalem, the Ma'an news agency reported. Authorities cited lack of building permits as the reason for the demolitions, which displaced three Palestinian families from the Alqam family.
The demolitions are part of a broader pattern of home destruction in occupied East Jerusalem, where Palestinian residents face severe restrictions on building and obtaining permits from Israeli authorities.
