Demolishing Own Homes

19/07/2018

Palestinian Jihad Shawamrah stands on the ruins of his house that he demolished to avoid the prospect of Israeli settlers moving in after he lost a land ownership case in

Israeli courts, in the East Jerusalem neighbourhood of Beit Hanina, on Thursday. Two Palestinian families demolished the homes they had lived in for nearly two decades,

saying they would rather destroy them than face the prospect of Israeli settlers moving in. — Reuters
