flag Israeli forces in East Jerusalem forced Palestinian families to demolish their homes during Ramadan to avoid fines, part of ongoing efforts to restrict Palestinian presence and expand Israeli control.

flag Israeli authorities in occupied East Jerusalem intensified home demolitions, forcing Palestinian families to self-demolish their homes to avoid fines or violent enforcement, with at least three families displaced in Beit Hanina and Sur Baher. flag The actions, part of a broader policy to restrict Palestinian presence, occurred during Ramadan—a period previously less affected—under a new police directive allowing enforcement even in the holy month. flag Homes built without permits, some occupied for years, were targeted, with residents facing financial penalties and threats. flag The Wadi Hilweh Information Center documented these incidents as part of systemic efforts to limit Palestinian construction and expand Israeli control, while settlement expansion continues in violation of international law.
