JERUSALEM, Wednesday, September 25, 2019 (WAFA) – Israeli forces removed today a tent set up by Palestinian activists and residents of al-Sawahreh to the east of occupied Jerusalem to protest Israeli plans to establish a new settlement outpost in the nearby Jabal al-Mintar area, said witnesses.
They told WAFA Israeli forces stormed the area and evicted the activists from the tent before removing it.
The Israeli army informed the activists last week of its intention to remove the tent.
On September 15, Israeli settlers razed land belonging to Palestinians in Jabal al-Mintar area and set up a number of mobile homes and water tanks there with a goal to establish a new settlement outpost on that land.
Palestinians said they will not allow the settlers to set up a new settlement on their land and neighborhood.
