Seventy-seven Palestinian-owned buildings have been destroyed since the extreme far-right government led by Benjamin Netanyahu took office, according to UN figures.
During February alone, observers have pointed out, Israel's occupation forces demolished or handed demolition orders for 187 Palestinian structures in the occupied territories.
Observers point out that the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians didn't end in 1948 when the state of Israel was formed; it is ongoing.
The Israeli-run municipality in occupied Jerusalem on Tuesday demolished two Palestinian-owned apartments under the pretext that they had no building licences. The building belonged to a Palestinian man and his sister in Sur Baher neighbourhood to the south of the occupied holy city. Each apartment was 90 square metres in size.
