Zionist forces evict Palestinian family from West Bank home

Zionist regime forces have evicted a Palestinian family from their home in al-Quds near the Old City after a court battle that stretched for more than two decades.

An Israeli court ruled on Wednesday in favor of the Zionist Elad foundation, which seeks to increase the illegal settler presence in the mainly Palestinian parts of al-Quds and which claimed it had long purchased the property.

After the court ruling, regime forces arrived in the neighborhood and evicted the family from their apartment, the report said, adding that the family would temporarily stay with their relatives.

“To take us from the house is like taking my heart from my body,” said Ali Siyam, 20, one of the Palestinian children evicted along with his family.

The family had filed a legal appeal in an attempt to fight the eviction, but it was rejected, and they were also ordered to pay 10,000 shekels (2,820 dollars) in legal costs to Elad.

It also said that the illegal Zionist settlers were “using their power and money to exhaust and impoverish the Palestinian families in legal proceedings so that they will have to agree to sell them homes.”
