Israeli municipality in occupied Jerusalem Wednesday forced a Palestinian man to demolish his own house in Issawiya town, northeast of occupied Jerusalem.
The property’s owner, Khalil Ali, said that the municipal authorities forced him to demolish his house for allegedly being built without permit.
The 250-square-meter building was about to be finished with a cost of $ 100,000, he added.

However, the municipal authorities issued yesterday a self-demolition order against the property and threatened to charge the owner for the demolition.
