5 Palestinians freed following arrests during East Jerusalem eviction
[IsraelTimes] Five members of a Paleostinian family arrested after Israeli police demolished their house in East Jerusalem have been released, their lawyer tells AFP.The arrest of several members of the Salhiya family came as they were evicted from their house in the sensitive neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah by Israeli authorities before dawn yesterday. Walid Abu Tayeh, the family’s lawyer, confirms "the release of the five people detained since Wednesday, including Mahmud Salihiya and his sons." Police had accused several Salihiya family members of "violating a court order" and public disturbance. Abu Tayeh says the release of the five was conditional on payment of a 1,000 Israeli shekel ($320) fine, and that the group is forbidden from entering Sheikh Jarrah for one month. The looming eviction of other Paleostinian families from Sheikh Jarrah in May last year partly fueled an 11-day war between Israel and Paleostinian terror groups in Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... In those cases, Paleostinians risked having to surrender plots of land to Jews who had mounted legal claims to the land. But Jerusalem authorities have stressed the Salihiya family eviction is a different case and that the city intends to build a special needs school on the land, benefitting Arab residents of East Jerusalem. The city has said it purchased the land from previous Arab owners and that the Salihiyas had lived there illegally for years, but failed to agree to a compromise on an eviction order first issued in 2017.
