Photos 1-6: the Demolition in Beit Hanina

Ahmad Siam’s home

Ahmad Abdelrazek Siam explained that occupation bulldozers demolished his 95m2 home (built from bricks and roofed with tin plates) without prior notice. Noteworthy, the house is founded on a 1500m2 plot. He added that his house was built two years ago where he has been living with his wife and three children.

The municipality crews raided the house without prior notice when the family was not home. They were unable to reach their home until the demolition was over; it was executed on top of most of their furniture.

Thaer Siam’s home

Thaer Siam explained that the municipality bulldozers demolished his 60-square meters home which is a container that was established 11 years ago.

Thaer explained that his home was demolished without prior notice and he had never received any demolition orders. Also, ten trees founded in the area were totally damaged and a number of pet cats were ran over by the force vehicles.

Naser Rajabi’s home

The occupation authorities demolished the home of Naser Rajabi which is 60m2. Rajabi explained that the demolished was carried out in the morning and that he was banned from approaching the place and even talk to the officer. The family of Naser is now divided since he lives  with his relative while his wife and kids live in the house of his father-in-law.
