Israeli authorities deported 29 Palestinians from Jerusalem and demolished 20 structures in February, Wadi Hilweh Information Centre announced.

"The Israeli decisions included preventing 27 Palestinians from entering Al-Aqsa and another from entering Jerusalem for allegedly residing illegally in the city, despite the fact that he was born and raised in the city," the organisation said in its monthly report which monitors Israeli violations in Jerusalem. It added that the deported local had applied for "family unification requests multiple times to no avail."

The report added that Israeli forces had demolished "20 facilities in Jerusalem, eight of which were self-demolished [by Palestinians] following a decision by the occupation's municipality," adding that the buildings were located in "Silwan, Tire Baher, Sheikh Jarrah, Jabal Al Mukaber and Anata"
