Demolitions in the Jerusalem Area, May-July 2024: 101 structures demolished on authorities’ orders; 137 Palestinians, including 70 minors, lose their homes

In May-July 2024, 101 structures, 51 of them homes, were demolished in East Jerusalem and al-Quds District on Israeli authorities' orders; 137 Palestinians, including 70 minors, lost their homes.

The Israeli apartheid regime treats the territory it controls as meant to serve the Jewish public only, almost entirely barring Palestinian development. But Palestinians need homes, too, and when they have no choice but to build without permits, the regime demolishes their homes. "Enforcing the law" is merely an excuse for cementing Jewish supremacy.
