Israeli soldiers and policemen displaced resident Khaled An-Natsha and his family from their home in Al-Ashqariyya area, in Beit Hanina, north of Israeli controlled East Jerusalem. The eviction came following a court order that granted Israeli settlers ownership over the property.

The Palestinian News and Info Agency, WAFA, reported that the soldiers also detained An-Natsha after “arguing with the soldiers”.
The Israeli District Court in Jerusalem previously issued an eviction notice ordering An-Natsha to vacate the property, claiming that the land on which his home is built belonged to a Jewish man since 1936.
Earlier this month, resident Mohammad Al-Joulani, also in Al-Ashqariyya, received a court ruling ordering him to leave his home, and informing him that the property will be demolished by April 22. Israel claims that the home was illegally constructed.
Residents of Al-Ashqariyya stated that Israeli soldiers and settlers “are working hand in hand in order to occupy a large number of Palestinian homes and property in different part of Israeli controlled East Jerusalem in order to build and expand Jewish-only settlements”.
The Natsha and Joulani families stated that they have been under constant harassment by Israeli soldiers and settlers over several years, and repeatedly forced to pay exaggerated fines imposed by the Jerusalem Municipality.
The settlers - heavily financed by wealthy Jewish individuals, including Jewish-American Billionaire, Erving Moscovitch - are planning to build 60 units in the place of An-Natsha's home and its surrounding land, with the intent to create a new settlement in the heart of the Al-Ashqariyya Palestinian neighborhood.
Home demolitions, the ongoing takeover of Palestinian homes in Israeli controlled East Jerusalem, and the daily invasions and attacks carried out by settlers and soldiers in the West Bank contributed to the end of the direct peace talks between the Palestinian Authority of President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank with Tel Aviv.

Eyewitnesses reported that the army demolished 13 sheds and tents leaving several families without shelter, and without barns for their livestock.
Bedouins in different parts of the country are subject to regular harassment by Israeli soldiers and settlers, repeatedly finding their homes and shelters destroyed in various parts of the West Bank and the Negev.
Residents of Al-Jahalin originate from an area north of Be’er Al Sabe’ (Be'er Sheva), and were forced out of their lands by armed Israeli groups and soldiers in 1950. Their lands were then taken away by the state of Israel and came under Israeli control.
After the 1967 Six-Day War, several families managed to flee to Jordan. The remaining members of the Al-Jahalin tribe were targeted again, and their land was placed under strict and arbitrary Israeli military orders.
Some residents of Al-Jahalin were forced into exile in Jordan, while the rest were forced to relocate in areas in Israeli controlled East Jerusalem, and Jericho.
In the 1970’s, fifty families of Al-Jahalin settled in an area incorporated into the Abu Dis district in Israeli controlled East Jerusalem. In the mid 1990’s, Israel’s settlement activities resulted in repeated attacks against the Bedouin, leading to demolitions of camps, and attempts to remove them from the area. The attacks continued, and there has been a sharp escalation in the numbers of attacks in the last two years.
The Al-Jahalin area was classified as area 'C' as part of the Oslo Peace Agreement signed between Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organisation in 1993. This means the area and Bedouin village was placed under full Israeli administrative and security control; who classed it as an uninhabited area leading to more hardships among its Bedouin residents.
