Israeli Policemen Use Force To Evict Two Palestinian Families In Jerusalem
2 August 2009
OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- Israeli occupation policemen on Saturday night forcibly evacuated the homes of Hanun and Ghawi families in Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in occupied Jerusalem and handed their homes to Jewish settlement societies.
Palestinian sources said that the policemen kidnapped members of the two families along with a group of foreign solidarity activists after beating them up.
They pointed out that the policemen also tore down the sit-in tent where Um Kamel Al-Kurd is living in the same suburb after her house was confiscated by the Israeli occupation authority (IOA).
The Israeli higher court had claimed that both homes were owned by Israeli settlement societies.
Eyewitnesses reported that tension was running high in the neighborhood as big numbers of policemen and border police were deployed in anticipation of protests.
Meanwhile, Palestinian legal sources warned on Saturday that the IOA had granted permission for the construction of 300 settlement outposts in Sheikh Jarrah.
They told Quds Press that the outposts would be built on the ruins of 28 Palestinian homes, which were evacuated and demolished by the IOA a few months ago.
Israeli settlers install new outpost north West Bank
Meanwhile, Palestinian sources reported that armed Israeli settlers established on Saturday a new illegal settlement outpost on an area located between Nablus and Qalqiliya, north of the West Bank.
The sources said that the settlers took control of lands near the illegal settlement of Kedumim and established their new outpost on it.
The sources noted that this outpost is part of 11 others that a Jewish extremist group declared its intention to set up in the West Bank during the coming days.
In another context, the Hamas Movement perused Saturday its massive rallies and marches all over the Gaza Strip within the week of solidarity with the West Bank which initiated last Tuesday.
Ashraf Abu Zayed, the head of Hamas public action department, said in a press statement that these angry marches and rallies are held in protest at the escalating Israeli violations committed on daily basis against the occupied city of Jerusalem and the Aqsa Mosque.
He also said that these protests are held in response to the distress calls of Palestinian fighters, patriots and citizens in the West Bank, who are exposed to suppression, arrest and torture at the hands of the Palestinian authority’s militias.
The popular resistance movement, for its part, called on the Palestinian resistance factions and their armed wings to retaliate to the settlers’ crimes in the occupied Palestinian lands and defend the Palestinian people’s rights to their land and holy places.
It appealed to the Arab and Islamic regimes to break their silence towards the Israeli escalations against the holy city of Jerusalem and the Aqsa Mosque and to support the Palestinian people’s rights.
