Israeli authorities cut power to residential building in Jerusalem before demolition

Israeli forces raided a residential building in the Wadi al-Joz area in occupied Jerusalem, cutting the building's electricity ahead of its demolition, Wafa news agency is reporting.

The building's owner, Nader Jaber, said that he "has been paying fines for 30 years, exceeding one million shekels [$275,000), yet they still want to destroy my home".

The building contains three apartments that house Jaber's children and grandchildren.

"I have been forced to evacuate all three apartments and am now waiting for the demolition bulldozers to arrive at any moment," Jaber said.
