A Palestinian man from Hijazi family destroys his family home in Jerusalem's Old City on June 22, 2013. Monther Hijazi, 65, decided to demolish his own home to carry out an Israeli court order, following pay 40,000 shekels (about 11,000 USD) as violations under the pretext of building without municipality permit. Many Palestinians end up demolishing their homes themselves to avoid the high cost of paying for Israeli government bulldozers, or being sent to prison for not being able to pay. Photo by Saeed Qaq
