Jerusalem - Petra
Israeli bulldozers on Monday razed four Palestinian homes in Jabal Al Baba area in East Jerusalem.
Eyewitnesses said, "A large Israeli force broke into the area, cordoned off the site and drove the residents away before demolishing the houses." "The reason behind pulling down homes was these were considered as falling 'near' the Ma'ale Adumim settlement even as Israel says that demolition orders are issued in case of buildings that do not have a valid construction permit," said a house owner.
