RAMALLAH, Tuesday, September 12, 2023 (WAFA) – Israeli settlers Tuesday seized a Palestinian-owned house belonging to the Idris family in the al-Qarmi neighborhood in the Old City of occupied Jerusalem, under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces.

Residents living in the neighborhood were surprised by the sounds of settlers storming the house, guarded by occupation forces, changing the doors and placing iron protection on the windows and rooftop of the house.

The residents informed the Idris family that the settlers had stormed their house, so they came to the place and verbal altercations took place between them, the settlers, and the occupation forces.

Mohammad Idris confirmed that the house has belonged to the family since 1979, and he has the documents proving ownership of the house in which his mother and sister currently live.

He explained that the settlers took advantage of his mother's being in the hospital for about 10 days, when dozens of them broke into the house.

Idris pointed out that the occupation police asked him to file a complaint to prove ownership of the house, noting that they have now expelled the settlers from the house.
