Report: Three Jerusalem families forcibly displaced from homes Three families in the Batn al-Hawa neighbourhood of Silwan in East Jerusalem were forced to leave their homes on Sunday following orders issued by Israeli authorities in favour of the Ateret Cohanim settler organisation, Wafa news agency reported. According to the Jerusalem Governorate, the eviction included resident Um Nasser al-Rajbi and her children. Her son, Nasser al-Rajbi, and his family were forcibly evicted, and an ambulance was needed to transfer his 29-year-old son Awad, who is in a coma, and his 24-year-old daughter, who has a disability. The eviction also affected her second son, Aed al-Rajbi, and his family. The Governorate said the evictions are part of an ongoing policy of displacement in the neighbourhood. Since June 2024, Israeli authorities have carried out forced evictions affecting 13 homes in Batn al-Hawa.
