The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) has notified defense lawyer of Bustan suburb in occupied AlQuds (Jerusalem) of court orders for the demolition of 29 houses.
The committee in defense of Silwan said that all legal means were trekked in a bid to avoid the demolition of those houses but to no avail, adding that the Israeli court orders said that the houses should be razed before September.
The committee charged in a statement on Wednesday that the IOA was circumventing the laws in order to pave the way for razing those houses and build Toratic parks in place of the entire suburb.
It said that the inhabitants were afraid the demolition process might start any time following issuance of the court order.
