JERUSALEM, December 22, 2011 (WAFA) – Jerusalem municipality city employees Thursday handed a number of Palestinians in Issawiya neighborhood of East Jerusalem demolishing orders for their homes, according to local sources.

Issawiya follow up committee spokesman, Raed Abu Rayali, told WAFA that Israeli police and a number of soldiers raided the neighborhood and handed a number of its residents demolishing orders under the pretext of not having building permits.

Abu Rayali said a number of the municipality employees stole olive trees after they were uprooted from Palestinians’ land east of the neighborhood.
