WEST BANK (Dispatches) –Zionist troops have committed 3,940 crimes in occupied Al-Quds since 1 January this year, the Palestine Information Center has revealed in a report.
The number of the occupation regime’s crimes against the Palestinians in the city has increased sharply in 2022.
The report found that 1,299 violations were carried out in April alone, including the deliberate killing of six Palestinians in Al-Quds and the wounding of 1,114 others, including women and children.
During the reporting period 1 January to 31 August 2022, the center said that 34,117 Zionist settlers raided Al-Asa Mosque, compared with 28,013 during the same period last year. All settlers and the settlements in which they live are illegal under international law.
At the same time, the Zionist regime issued 89 deportation orders against Palestinian activists as well as employees of the Al-Quds Waqf (Endowment) Department.
The report also recorded the occupying regime’s detention of 1,455 Palestinians in the city. Moreover, at least 19 examples of settlement expansion were recorded, including land expropriation, razing farms to the ground and building new settlement houses.
The Zionist authorities demolished 71 homes in Al-Quds and issued demolition orders against dozens of others.
The report comes as Zionist regime authorities forced a Palestinian woman to demolish her house in occupied East Al-Quds.
Palestinian media reported that the authorities left Nasreen Abu Tayeh, mother of four, with no choice but to totally knock down the house in Batn al-Hawa, a residential neighborhood inside the village of Silwan, located south of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The occupying regime routinely demolishes Palestinian houses in the occupied West Bank and East Al-Quds, claiming the structures have been built without the so-called permits, which are almost impossible to obtain. They also sometimes order Palestinian owners to demolish their own houses or pay the demolition costs.
The occupying regime plans to force out Palestinian families from neighborhoods in East Al-Quds in an attempt to replace them with settlers.
The theft of land across the occupied territories has pushed residents into a crowded enclave surrounded by walls, settlements, and military installations.
