Quds (Jerusalem), Rabi'I 17, 1434, Jan 29, 2013, SPA - Workers from the Israeli West Al-Quds municipality Monday demolished a Palestinian home in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan under the pretext it was built without a permit, according to a local activist. Fakhri Abu Diab, head of the Committee for the Defense of Silwan, told 'WAFA' (The State of Palestine News and Information Agency) that the workers protected by a large police force arrived in the neighborhood with an aim to demolish two houses in the Wadi Rababa area of Silwan. Local residents attempted to stop the demolition and confronted the Israeli force, he said, leading to the injury of several people, including women. A couple of the injured were hit in the head by rubber-coated metal bullets, said Abu Diab. Wadi Hilweh Information Center, a local human rights group, said police arrested three people.
