Palestinian families go homeless due to Israeli evacuation orders

Tuesday 1-May-2018

The Israeli occupation forces on Tuesday forced five Palestinian families in the northern Jordan Valley out of their homes on account of upcoming military drills.

Activist Aref Daraghma said five families among them children and women have gone homeless after the Israeli military forced them out of their tents.

At the same time staff from the Israeli municipality in Occupied Jerusalem and police demolished a building in Issawiya neighborhood under the pretext that it was built without a permit.

Mohamed Abu al-Hums from al-Issawiya’s Follow-Up Committee said Police and staff sealed off the targeted building since the early morning hours before they forced the residents out and demolished the building.

Meanwhile the Israeli army demolished a home in Suwin town in Negev.

Palestinians say they are forced to build without a permit because the Israeli municipality rarely grants them a building permit which is part of a long term policy to keep Palestinian residents in the occupied city to a bare minimum while multiplying the number of Israeli settlers.
