Israeli bulldozers demolish 50 Palestinian shops near Jerusalem
Share:
Israeli bulldozers demolished approximately 50 Palestinian shops near Jerusalem on the West Bank, leaving hundreds of families without income. The demolitions were carried out to prepare ground for the construction of a new road connected to Jewish settlements in the occupied territory. The West Bank has been occupied by Israel since 1967, and Jewish settlements there are considered illegal under international law by most countries and the United Nations, though Israel disputes this characterization.
