A Palestinian man living in occupied East Jerusalem was forced on Wednesday to demolish his own house to avoid paying exorbitant fine if the West Jerusalem Israeli municipality carries out the demolition itself.

Local sources said the Israeli municipality ordered Palestinian man Munir al-Rajbi to demolish his family house in Beit Hanina neighborhood, north of East Jerusalem, under the pretext that it was built without a permit.

The 50-square-meter building is home to four children and their parents.
