Israeli forces on Monday morning seized a Palestinian land in Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in Occupied Jerusalem.
Eye-witness Hashem Bader said Israeli policemen escorted by a bulldozer rolled into a land tract owned by the Palestinian citizen Abdul Razaq al-Sheikh and chopped down fruitful trees paving the way for the confiscation of the land covering an overall area of 40 square meters.
The family’s lawyer showed up in the area and updated the Israeli forces about the illegitimacy of the measure which he said has been carried out with no official court order.
The Israeli occupation authorities continue to target Palestinian lands across Jerusalem city in favor of illegal settlement expansion.
