Jewish Settlers Takeover Building in Hebron

HEBRON, March 29, 2012 (WAFA) – A group of Jewish settlers Thursday broke into an abandoned building located less than a kilometer away from the Ibrahimi mosque (Cave of the Patriarchs) in the southern West Bank city of Hebron and took it over claiming they have documents proving ownership of the building, according to local residents.

They told WAFA that settlers broke into the three story building owned by Taleb Abu Rajab in the early hours.

Israeli army and police surrounded the building and prevented its owners who gathered in front of it from entering it claiming they were waiting for proof of ownership from the settlers and the owners before they decide on the next move.

Settlers normally use forged documents obtained from land dealers to prove ownership of Palestinian property.
