The Salihiya family in Sheikh Jarrah the second catastrophe The Israeli occupation bulldozers reduced the Salhiya family’s home in Sheikh Jarrah, occupied Jerusalem, in the blink of an eye, to rubble, as they were unable to find anything except a refrigerator door on which the family’s children’s pictures were printed. At three in the morning, while the Salhiya family, with its men, women and children, was safe in their home in Sheikh Jarrah, it was surprised by more than 100 Israeli soldiers, with their equipment and equipment, storming the two houses, and brutally starting to force them out of them under the least harsh weather conditions. Outside the two houses, the mechanisms were waiting for the right moment to pounce on them, 13 family members, half of whom are under arrest, and the other half are in the open. The young man, Muhammad Ikrimawi, one of the two houses holed up, described in an interview with “Wafa” what happened by saying: “We were surprised by dozens of soldiers storming the house, and they started brutally assaulting us, and they took us all to the Moscow investigation centers, and there some of us were released on condition of deportation from Sheikh Jarrah Five neighborhood Ten days, while my brother and uncle Mahmoud Salhia and his sons remained in detention.” As for his brother Abed Akramawi, whom the occupation has kept away from Sheikh Jarrah since yesterday and for three days, he said: I was arrested a few days ago while documenting the violations against our house in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood. The occupation committed a crime against my family, and I could not defend it or be with it, and today we are homeless, but we will remain steadfast in Jerusalem despite all that we have been through.” Three hours is the time when a crime was committed against members of the Salhia family, a scene that is difficult to describe. The rubble of the family’s houses were scattered, which threatened to burn them and those in them and preferred death to leaving them two days ago. The occupation forces were forced to withdraw, 10 hours after the siege of Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, without being able to evacuate The family left their homes, after they seized a plot of land with an area of ​​about 6,000 square meters, and demolished a nursery from which the family and eight other families lived last Monday. Amal Salhia, sister of Mahmoud Salhia, told “Wafa”: “They demolished our house and turned it into rubble above the wreckage of our dreams. ". The Salhiya family was displaced from the town of Ein Karem in 1948, and took refuge in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, and today it is displaced from its home again in a new catastrophe, where the occupation will establish biblical settlement gardens. For 23 years, the Salihiya family has been engaged in a struggle in the occupation courts and with the so-called "custodian of absentee property" in order to prove its ownership of the land and prevent its seizure. Two years ago, the occupation authorities issued a decision to seize it, for the same argument, but the decision was postponed. The story of the suffering of a righteous family began in 1996, when the occupation authorities initially offered them to buy them, and they made financial offers, all of which were rejected. After that, the occupation authorities resorted to other tricks through the "custodian of absentee property", but they were unable to seize the family's land, and after that they used several methods, and in the end the municipality pleaded to seize the land for the "public benefit". On the twentieth of last December, the occupation municipality handed the Salhiya family a notice to vacate their homes and the plot of land on which they were built, under the pretext of “public interest” and the establishment of schools on them, and gave them until the twenty-fifth of it to implement the eviction order. Last Monday, the occupation forces broke into the family’s land and demolished an agricultural nursery after emptying it of its contents. After that, they tried to evict the two houses, but their owner, Mahmoud Salhia, and his family members barricaded themselves inside and on its roof, and threatened to set fire to them if the occupation police insisted on evacuating them. There is a complicity between the court and the Israeli police to seize the land, which is the largest plot in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, and is adjacent to the house of Haj Amin Al-Husseini, which was seized, as previously 30 dunums were seized near it, and a settlement was established in the neighborhood, followed by a park.
