Israel has increased the demolition of Palestinian homes in East al-Quds (Jerusalem) as part of a "broad policy" to drive Palestinians out of the city, says a new report.
The final months of 2010 saw a sharp rise in the number of Israeli demolitions of Palestinian homes in East al-Quds, Israeli civil rights group Ir Amim (City of Peoples) said in a statement on Tuesday.
The civil rights group said the rise in demolitions was calculated to drive Palestinians out of the city, AFP reported.
"It is important to emphasize that the issue of home demolitions in Jerusalem is not a neutral enforcement of the law, but rather part of a broad policy that seeks to weaken Palestinian civil society in east Jerusalem and drive them out, "said the statement.
It documented 74 demolitions in east al-Quds in 2010, with the monthly figure peaking in December with 17 incidents.
