Clashes erupt as Jerusalem municipality demolishes Palestinian homes
JERUSALEM (Ma'an) -- Demolition teams from the Jerusalem municipality on Wednesday morning destroyed three Palestinian homes and forced a man to demolish his own home in East Jerusalem, leaving 28 homeless.
Clashes erupted in one neighborhood following the demolitions, injuring 15 and leading to seven detentions, according to eyewitnesses.
The first demolition was in the Beit Hanina neighborhood north of the Old City. Demolition teams, residents said, arrived at 4:30 a.m. at Wadi al-Dam in Beit Hanina and stormed the home of Muhammad Sanduqa.
They then forced the family out and evacuated furniture before bulldozers pulled the house down.
