Israel destroys house in Arab town of Tira
Israeli occupation authorities destroyed on Sunday a two-storey home in the Arab town of Tira, in 1948-occupied Palestine, under the pretext that it was built without an Israeli permit, local sources said.
Arab 48 website reported that Israeli police forces accompanied by bulldozers raided the town and cordoned off the house of Samer Titi, a local Palestinian resident, before proceeding to demolish it under the pretext of lacking an Israeli construction permit. The home has been uninhabited until the moment of the destruction.
Homes and buildings Arab cities and towns in Israel are a frequent target for demolitions as Israeli authorities make it very difficult for Arab citizens to get building permits.
Now, hundreds of Palestinian-owned homes in Israel are scheduled for demolition, with many accusing the government of selectively carrying out destructions in Israel’s indigenous Arab communities while allowing Israeli settlers free access to housing and expansion.
