Israeli soldiers handed, on Monday evening, an order for the demolition of a Palestinian home in Silwan town, south of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, in occupied East Jerusalem, and abducted a woman while leaving the holy site.
The soldiers handed the order to the home owner, Issa Ja’afra, informing him that his property will be demolished on January 27th, for “being built without a permit.”
They informed him that he can avoid the high fines and fees, if he demolished his home at his own expense before that date.
There are eight family members, including five children, living in the 70 square/meter home.
In 2016, the army demolished the family’s former home under the same allegations.
Besides the excessively high costs of obtaining permits from Israel, the Palestinians are almost always denied construction permits, including permits for modifying their properties or adding rooms to them.
This is happening while Israel continues the construction and expansion of its illegal colonies, in direct violation of International Law and the Fourth Geneva Convention.
Also in Jerusalem, the soldiers abducted a Palestinian woman, identified as Montaha Emara, as she was leaving the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
In related news, the soldiers handed Jawad Siyam, the director of Wadi Hilweh Information Center in Silwan (Silwanic), an order to head to the City Council for questioning.
Furthermore, an Israeli court, sentenced Mohammad Nidal ar-Razem, 22, from Jerusalem, to 54 months in prison, and a fine of 10.000 Shekels. The young man was taken prisoner on July 2nd, 2018.

Miri Regev, the Israeli Minister of Culture and Sport of Israel, toured the streets of the Old City of Jerusalem, as dozens of Israeli settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound on Sunday.
A Ma'an reporter said that Regev toured the streets of the Old City along with a camera crew, in order to shoot her political campaign, for the upcoming Israeli legislative elections in April.
Meanwhile, about 39 Israeli settlers stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound through the Moroccans Gate in the form of successive groups and toured throughout the compound.
Israeli forces, who were deployed across the compound, banned the entry of clothes of Al-Aqsa guards.
Sheikh Omar al-Kiswani, director of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, pointed out that Israeli forces also banned employees from the Islamic Endowment Department from entry into compound, preventing them from carrying out their work duties.
Al-Kiswani added that such provocations by Israeli forces occur on a daily basis.
Eyewitnesses told Ma'an that Israeli forces detained a Palestinian youth in the streets in Jerusalem’s Old City, in addition the youth was repeatedly assaulted by the soldiers. video
The reason for the youth’s detention remained unknown.
The Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, which sits just above the Western Wall plaza, houses both the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa mosque. The third holiest site in Islam, it is also venerated as Judaism's most holy place, as it sits where Jews believe the First and Second Temples once stood.
While Jewish visitation is permitted to the compound, non-Muslim worship is prohibited according to an agreement signed between Israel and the Jordanian government after Israel’s illegal occupation of East Jerusalem in 1967.
Despite the agreement with Jordan -- which is the custodian of Al-Aqsa -- Israeli authorities regularly allow Jewish visitors to enter the site, often under armed guard. Such visits are typically made by right-wingers attempting to unsettle the status quo at the site, and coincide with restrictions on Palestinian access, including bans on entrance and detentions.
