OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- The Israeli occupation authority on Sunday issued a new batch of demolition orders against Palestinian homes in occupied Jerusalem, Palestinian sources in the holy city said.

They added that the IOA-controlled municipality of occupied Jerusalem said that 13 Palestinian apartments in Beit Hanina suburb would be flattened at the usual pretext of lack of construction permit, which is never granted by this municipality.

The 13 apartments are located in a building owned by Subhi Al-Halholi and are all owned by Jerusalemite families, the sources said, noting that the apartments provide shelter for 100 persons.
