Israel continues to demolish Palestinian homes and structures in east Jerusalem al-Quds, in defiance of calls to stop the practice. In the latest incident, Israeli forces tore down a residential building in northern Jerusalem al-Quds, leaving 30 Palestinians homeless. As Press TV’s Mona Kandil reports from Ramallah, there’s been a surge in demolition orders issued by Israel in al-Quds since the beginning of this year.
