Hamas Condemns Israeli Demolition of Palestinian Home in Al-Quds Neighborhood
In a statement, the resistance movement described the move by the Zionist regime as crossing the red line and warned of the consequences of such measures, palinfo.com reported.
It added that the Palestinian resistance is closely watching the developments in Jerusalem al-Quds and is ready to counter attempts to Judaize the holy city.
Hamas also called on all Palestinians to confront the Zionist regime and its aggressions on al-Quds and Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Zionist forces demolished a building in the East Jerusalem Al-Quds neighborhood of Al Bustan on Tuesday.
The operation comes during a period of heightened tension in Jerusalem al-Quds, with Palestinian residents in another neighborhood, Sheikh Jarrah, facing the threat of forced removal from their homes, and a series of violent clashes in May between Israeli police and Palestinians around Al-Aqsa Mosque in the Old City.
Bulldozers, along with Israeli police forces, arrived in Al Bustan around 8:00 in the morning, locals said, and took about two hours to bring down the building, which housed a butcher's shop.
The owner of the shop, Nidal Rajibi, had received the mandated warning letter, locals said, which had instructed him to pull the building down by last Sunday.
