On Tuesday, Israeli forces demolished a commercial facility in the Wadi al-Jouz neighborhood of occupied Jerusalem, in the West Bank.
Media sources reported that many military vehicles and bulldozers invaded the neighborhood after isolating it.
They added that the soldiers demolished a commercial facility used for selling and filling medical oxygen, owned by the Badriyya family in the Industrial Zone of Wadi al-Jouz.
It is worth mentioning that the demolition is part of the plan to implement the so-called “Silicon Valley” colonial project on the ruins of Palestinian property and stolen lands.
The colonialist project poses a direct demolition threat to all Palestinian industrial and commercial facilities, which would be replaced by “high-tech” companies, hotels, and commercial spaces on the stolen Palestinian lands and in place of the destroyed Palestinian homes and buildings.
A report issued by the Wall and Colonization Resistance Commission revealed that Israeli authorities demolished 21 facilities in Jerusalem governorate during September.
All of Israel’s colonies in the occupied West Bank, including those in and around occupied East Jerusalem, are illegal under International Law, the Fourth Geneva Convention in addition to various United Nations and Security Council resolutions. They also constitute war crimes under International Law.
states: “The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.” It also prohibits the “individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory”.
