Palestinians in East Jerusalem are facing a surge in Israeli demolitions, with many homes being destroyed due to lack of legal permits. The Jabal Mukaber district, located in East Jerusalem, is heavily populated and a highly contested area. Palestinians claim East Jerusalem as their capital, while Israel claims the entire city as its capital. The issue of who is allowed to build where in Jerusalem is a major point of conflict in the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
