November 20, 2024

On the 411th day of "Al-Aqsa Flood” operation, te occupation bulldozers carried out demolitions in the city of Jerusalem, and the raids on Al-Aqsa Mosque continued, while a session was held in the Supreme Court to consider the petition submitted to receive the bodies of two Jerusalemite martyrs.

Demolition in Jerusalem

In the morning hours, joint forces from the municipality and police stormed the Shu’fat refugee camp in Jerusalem, and demolished a wall in the Ras Khamis area.

The forces stormed two apartments belonging to the Matar family in Jabal al-Mukabber, and completed the demolition process under the pretext of building without a permit.

The Matar family said that they began yesterday evening, Tuesday, by self-demolishing their apartments by a decision from the municipality, in order to avoid paying financial fines "demolition fees to the municipality and the accompanying forces", but they were surprised today by the raid and the completion of the demolition.

The two apartments are home to 16 individuals, including 12 children, and were built in 2013, and a "building violation" fine of 160 thousand shekels was imposed on the family.

Al-Aqsa raids

148 settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque, under the protection of the occupation forces, through the Dung Gate, whose keys have been controlled by the occupation authorities since the occupation of Jerusalem.

A session in the Supreme Court

A session was held in the Supreme Court to consider the petition submitted to hand over the bodies of the two Jerusalemite martyrs, Ali Al-Abbasi and Abdul Rahman Faraj from the town of Silwan.

The occupation authorities continue to detain the bodies of Al-Abbasi and Faraj in refrigerators for a year.

Administrative Detention

The occupation authorities renewed the administrative detention of the Jerusalemite prisoner Huthaifa Attoun for 3 months, for the second time in a row.

Attoun was arrested 6 months ago, and was immediately transferred to administrative detention, and his detention was renewed today immediately after the end of the first period.

Hefty fines for Silwan residents

Financial fines worth 50 thousand shekels were imposed on a number of families in the Wadi al-Rababeh neighborhood in the town of Silwan.

Shadi Sumrein, one of the affected parties, explained that they were surprised by a financial fine for him and his wife worth 50 thousand shekels, for parking their vehicle in front of their homes in the Wadi al-Rababeh neighborhood.

The "Kadisha for Graves" Association considers the land in the Wadi al-Rababeh neighborhood to be Jewish cemetery land, and considered - according to the financial fine - that parking vehicles in the place is a violation of the sanctity of the dead and a violation of the sanctity of the Sabbath for Jews.

In recent years, the occupation authorities have confiscated large parts of the lands of the Wadi al-Rababeh neighborhood in Silwan for settlement purposes.
