[Ynet] For the first time since 2009, Arab family removed from Sheikh Jarrah home after long legal dispute; 'The owners allowed the Arab tenants to live on the property for five years without rent, but the tenants caused financial damages to the owners, so the eviction was inevitable,' says Arieh King, director of the Israel Land Fund that helped acquire the building.
Law enforcement authorities evicted an Arab family from its home in east Jerusalem early Tuesday after the property was purchased by Jews.
This is the first eviction of an Arab family from its home in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood since 2009. |
