Israeli forces demolish 5 Palestinian structures east of Jerusalem

Israeli bulldozers on Monday demolished five facilities belonging to the Palestinians in preparations to build a separation wall in the East Jerusalem town of al-Eizariaya , Palestinian sources said.Spokesman of the Jahalin tribe Sami Abu Ghaliya said in a statement that a large group of Israeli forces cordoned off the town early this morning and surrounded the structures belonging to the Jahalin community.Israeli soldiers forcibly evicted five families from their premises, seized their properties and demolished the dwellings.The demolitions took place without giving the locals any time to gather their belongings.“We’ve been living in this land for more than 60 years, and Israel wants to displace us and leave us homeless, just as it did to us during the 1948 Nakba and the 1967 war,” the spokesman added.
