RAMALLAH, Sunday, January 13, 2019 (WAFA) – News about the Israeli raids in Ramallah and Israel‘s decision to build more settlements near Jerusalem made headlines of the front pages of the three Arabic Palestinian dailies on Sunday.

Al-Hayat al-Jadida and al-Ayyam reported Israeli forces raided several neighborhoods and areas in the city of Ramallah, in the West Bank, in search for ‘wanted’ Palestinians. They said seven Palestinians were injured during the clashes that erupted between the youths and the Israeli soldiers following the raids.

The papers said that Jewish settlers from the illegal settlements of Oteniel, Ma’on and Sussia, accompanied by soldiers, physically attacked residents and shepherds in the villages of Tuwaneh, Sousia and Um al-Amad, in the south of the West Bank, and injured some others.

Al-Ayyam added that settlers also attacked homes of Palestinians in the village of Burqa, north of Nablus in the occupied West Bank.

Al-Quds and al-Ayyam said that five Palestinian families are facing eviction from their homes in occupied Jerusalem for the benefit of Jewish settlers.

They said that the Israel’s Law Enforcement Department has handed an order to the Sabbagh family in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah to leave a building it owns and where five Palestinian families live by January 23, and turn it over to Jewish settlers who claimed ownership of the building.

Al-Quds said Israeli warplanes Saturday night bombed multiple locations in the Gaza Strip.

Al-Ayyam and al-Quds said that Amal Mustafa Taramsi, 43, who was shot dead by Israeli soldiers on Friday during the Gaza border protests, was laid to rest on Saturday in Gaza City.

Al-Hayat al-Jadida said Venezuelan President Nicolas Madura reiterated during a meeting with Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad Malki on Saturday his country’s support for the Palestinian struggle for freedom and independence.
