Israel destroys 2 more Palestinian homes

Israeli forces have demolished two more Palestinian-owned homes in Jerusalem Al-Quds as part of Tel Aviv's efforts to increase the number of Jewish settlements there.

Palestinian sources say residents of the buildings were forcibly evicted before Israeli bulldozers demolished their homes on Monday.

An old woman failing to leave her home was injured by Israeli forces and was transferred to a hospital.

Israeli officials say the structures were built without permits. Israeli bulldozers often go to destroy Palestinian homes without warning and give residents of the homes a few minutes to collect their valuables.

While the Israeli officials claim that the demolition orders are issued because the buildings lack permits, the residents argue that Israeli officials have either withheld the vital documents or refused to issue them. Palestinians believe that Israel uses policy of demolition orders to force them out Jerusalem Al-Quds.

The policy has made thousands of Palestinians homeless and instead increased the population of Jewish Israeli citizens there.

According to Israel's Association for Civil Rights, although Palestinians make up nearly one third of the city's population, Tel Aviv has designated only 7.25% of the city's land for their building projects.
