Israeli occupation demolishes four Palestinian houses in Acre city
Acre (QNN)- Israeli occupation forces demolished four Palestinian-owned houses in the city of Acre in 1948-occupied Palestine without prior notice on Tuesday morning.
Local sources reported that Israeli forces accompanied by bulldozers stormed the city of Acre and besieged four Palestinian houses where about 20 residents have been living for 70 years.
The forces then forced the residents out of their houses before preventing people from reaching the houses and demolishing them under the pretext of building without a permit.

Israeli occupation authorities have intensified the demolitions of Palestinian houses in the 1948-occupied Palestinian territories.
According to Adalah – The Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel, “Only 4.6 percent of new homes built in Israel are in Palestinian towns and villages. Even though Palestinians make up over 20 percent of the population.”
“The difficulty for Palestinians in Israel to obtain building permits forces them to expand or build homes and structures without permits, which are at risk of being torn down later by the Israeli authorities,” Adala said.
Palestinians inside 1948-occupied Palestine have long protested discriminatory laws, including the Kaminitz Law, which penalizes the Palestinian community for building without permits with demolition and hefty fines.
