Palestinians of the Rajabi family walk on the rubble of their house on Tuesday (May 10) in the Arab east Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan after Israeli machinery demolishes it.

Staff from the West Jerusalem Israeli municipality demolished today a Palestinian-owned two-story building in the Silwan neighborhood of occupied East Jerusalem, according to witnesses.

They said Israeli police cordoned off the area where the building is located before a municipality bulldozer proceeded to demolish the building owned by the Rajabi family displacing, as a result, more than 30 people who lived in the second-floor apartments.

The Red Crescent said it handled five cases of Palestinians beaten by the Israeli police during the demolition, one of them was transferred to hospital.

The municipality had informed the Rajabi family of its decision to demolish its building under the pretext of lack of a building permit.

The Israeli authorities regularly raze homes built by Palestinians on their own lands in east Jerusalem and the West Bank if they lack Israeli construction permits.
