Palestinian Family Forced to Demolish Own Jerusalem Home as Demolitions Surpass 11,600

A Palestinian family in Jerusalem was compelled by Israeli authorities to demolish their own home, a practice used to avoid the higher costs of state-enforced demolition. The incident comes as Israeli-ordered property demolitions in the occupied Palestinian territories have surpassed 11,600 structures, marking a significant threshold in the ongoing policy of home demolitions that affects Palestinian communities across East Jerusalem and the West Bank.
