Israeli military forces demolished a five-story residential building in the East Jerusalem town of Al-Tur on Tuesday, October 6, 2026. Palestinian sources reported that the army entered the area with several military vehicles before proceeding with the demolition. Local sources indicated the building contained ten apartments.
Israeli authorities had issued a final demolition notice to residents the previous day, following years of demolition warnings, heavy fines, and financial penalties. The authorities had also refused to grant the residents a building permit.
The demolition is part of a broader escalation of Israel's policy of demolishing Palestinian homes and structures in Jerusalem. According to a report from the Jerusalem Governorate for the third quarter of 2026, Israeli authorities carried out 139 demolition and bulldozing operations in the governorate between July and September. During the same period, 150 demolition, eviction, and property seizure notices and decisions were issued, including 140 related to demolitions.
