JERUSALEM, August 10, 2018 (WAFA) – The Israeli municipality of occupied Jerusalem decided on Friday to confiscate dozens of dunums of land in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan, according to Wadi Hilweh Information Center.
WHIC said staff of the Israeli municipality distributed notices informing local citizens about the municipality’s intention to confiscate the said lands for “gardening purposes”.
The lands to be confiscated are the property of local Palestinian citizens, who hold proper paperwork confirming their ownership. Some of the lands to be confiscated also belong to the Greek Orthodox Church, the Center said.
