Israeli occupation forces demolished last week a shed and razed a Palestinian-owned land in the neighborhood of al-Isawiya in occupied East Jerusalem, according to local sources.

Amjad Hasan Mustafa was quoted by WAFA news agency as stating that he had previously been notified by the municipality of the illegal Israeli settlement of Beit El about the demolition of the shed, under the pretext of building without Israel's permission.

Israel rarely grants building permits to Palestinians in occupied East Jerusalem and in Israeli-controlled areas in the occupied West Bank, and therefore Palestinians often find themselves with no choice but to embark on construction without getting an Israeli permit.
