Palestinians have vowed to save the Sheikh Jarrah district in the Middle East News

Israeli forces searched the occupied Sheikh Jarrah district of East Jerusalem on Tuesday night, pouring skunk water, chemically enhanced sanitation water, and physically assaulting residents and protesters.

Several Palestinians were arrested, including Tala Obeid, Omar al-Khatib and Mahmoud Nabil al-Kurd, whose families have been displaced from occupied homes in East Jerusalem. Al-Kurd was released along with another Palestinian on Wednesday morning, but the arrest of local activist al-Khatib has been extended.

Palestinians have been protesting against the forced relocation of people to the Sheikh Jarrah district following an Israeli court order. A court in the Israeli district of East Jerusalem upheld the decision to evict six Palestinian families from their homes in favor of Israeli settlers. The same court ruled that seven other Sheikh Jarrah families must be released from their homes by August 1.

Palestinians fear that Israeli settlers are part of an effort to control Palestinian homes in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood.

A video son Saturday a settler trying to take the house of Sheikh Jarrah from the Palestinians caused anger.

At least 20 Palestinians were injured in a clash on Monday after Israeli police attacked a movement of solidarity with Sheikh Jarrah residents in a movement that was conquered by Israel in 1967 and unrecognized by most international communities.

Since 1956, a total of 37 Palestinian families have lived in 27 homes in the neighborhood – including 28 refugee families who were ethnically displaced from their homes in Jaffa and Haifa in 1948.

However, illegal Jewish settlers have tried to push abroad on the basis of a law passed by the Israeli parliament in 1970.

Sheikh Jarrah is a short walk from the Damascus Gate of the Old City, a square popular with Palestinians during the month of fasting Ramadan. After the days of protests in recent protests, Israeli police blocked the square and an Israeli far-right group marched into the areas shouting “death to the Arabs”.

The police prevented those protests with wonderful grenades, with water cannons and sharp water, before removing the fences.
