Israeli occupation forces demolished three residential structures in the Beit Hanina neighborhood of occupied East Jerusalem, the Ma'an news agency reported. The operation left 21 Palestinian residents without shelter, forcing families from their homes in the densely populated area north of the city's Old City.
Israeli authorities have carried out hundreds of demolitions across occupied Palestinian territories in recent years, citing lack of building permits issued by military administrators. Palestinians regard the practice as a systematic effort to displace communities and facilitate Israeli settlement expansion. Beit Hanina has faced repeated demolition campaigns targeting Palestinian-owned properties in areas designated by Israel as "state land" or security zones.
