Palestinian sources in Jerusalem reported, on Thursday, that bulldozers belonging to the Israeli controlled Jerusalem municipality demolished a sheep and horse farm in al-Issaweyeh village in North East Jerusalem.

Witnesses said that Maher Muhessen, the owner of the farm, received notification of the decision to demolish his farm only yesterday, with the reason stated that it was constructed without permission from the municipality.

The farm is 500 square meters and it is home to dozens of sheep and horses.

Also, a large force of Israeli army personnel closed the northern entrance of the village of al-Issaweyeh with concrete barriers and put a road sign that permits only the residents of the village to enter.
