Israeli occupation authorities ordered a resident of Beit Hanina, north of occupied Jerusalem, to tear down his own house on Saturday, Shehab Wire reported.
The demolition took place as part of Israeli operations in the occupied Palestinian territories. Such orders, where Palestinians are forced to destroy their own properties rather than face military demolition, are a recurring practice in East Jerusalem and the West Bank.
