Day 394 Jerusalem during “Al-Aqsa Flood” Operation
On the 394th day of "Al-Aqsa Flood” operation, the occupation municipality distributed demolition notices and summonses to follow up with the municipality in the towns of Silwan and Jabal Al-Mukabber, while the Abu al-Hawa family was able to enter their property that was stolen from them last September by the Elad settlement association, and hundreds of settlers carried out their raids on Al-Aqsa Mosque.
A mosque threatened with demolition
The occupation municipality crews suspended a demolition decision on the "Al-Shiyah Mosque" in the village of Jabal Al-Mukabber, south of Jerusalem.
Sheikh Akram Abu Al-Asaa explained that the municipality placed a "court decision" to demolish the mosque, and demands its immediate evacuation within 5 days, after which the decision will "enter into force."
Sheikh Abu Al-Asaa explained that the mosque has been standing for 20 years, and the municipality had issued several demolition notices against it, and stopped for a period, but the prosecutions resumed again 3 months ago, until the court issued the final demolition decision.
The mosque's area is 50 square meters, and it serves the residents of the area and its children "for prayer and learning the Quran."
The occupation forces, accompanied by municipal crews, stormed the town of Silwan, photographed the neighborhoods and streets, and posted summonses to follow up with the municipality.
In the Al-Bustan neighborhood in Silwan, the forces stormed the place designated for the "Silwan Tent" and took measurements of it, as well as taking measurements of other houses in the neighborhood.
This comes with the final demolition decisions issued against a number of families.
In recent days, the Rweidi and Ayed families emptied their homes in the Bustan neighborhood, after the final demolition decisions were issued by the municipality.
In the Al-Thori neighborhood in Silwan, the Al-Tawil family self-demolished their apartment, under the pretext of building without a permit.
The "Abu Al-Hawa" property returns to its owners
The family of Mrs. Ibtisam Abu Al-Hawa was able to reclaim their property in Al-Tur (a residential apartment and land), after the "El-Ad Settlement Association" seized it last September.
The family broke the locks and removed the barbed wire that the settlers had placed when they seized the property.
Ahmad Abu Al-Hawa - a relative of the family and a tenant of the house - explained that the family, from the first moment of seizing the property, took legal measures to recover it and return it to its owners and invalidate the claims of the El-Ad Settlement Association.
Abu Al-Hawa added that Mrs. Ibtisam and her sisters, with the help and support of the family, were able to nullify the suspicious deal in which the Elad Association claimed that it had purchased the property from a company in the United States of America.
Abu Al-Hawa explained that the house was closed about a month ago by a court decision that prevented the "family or settlers" from using it, and the legal procedures continued until the court nullified the "purchase claim" since the sole disposer of the property for 35 years is "Ibtisam Abu Al-Hawa" and no one has the right to sell or rent the property. He noted that the settlers appealed the decision twice, but the court rejected it, and accordingly the family returned to the residential apartment adjacent to their property.
He added that the case is still in the courts, and the family will continue with the necessary legal procedures.
Al-Aqsa raids
227 settlers raided Al-Aqsa through the Dung Gate, whose keys have been controlled by the occupation authorities since the occupation of Jerusalem, and prayed in Al-Aqsa.
The raids also continued in towns and neighborhoods in the city of Jerusalem, and checkpoints were set up in the city's streets.
