A Jerusalemite activist told Al Jazeera Net: The demolition of my house is revenge and a message from the occupation. Researcher Fakhri Abu Diab, spokesman for the Silwan Lands and Real Estate Defense Committee, said he was surprised by the Israeli occupation municipality and a large number of occupation soldiers storming his house in the morning with police dogs.
He added that the raid was "violent and severe, and we were taken out of the house at the same time as the area was besieged and the demolition bulldozer entered"
