[ 16/06/2011 - 07:43 AM ] OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- Silwan town committee has called for a sit-in before the Jerusalem court of construction and planning on Thursday which is supposed to issue a ruling on confiscation of 550 dunums of land in Silwan, Jabl Mukabir, and Wad Yasul in occupied Jerusalem.
The committee described the scheme as the most serious over the past few years as it covers vast area of land and is close to the Old City gates.
It said in a statement that the land might be lost forever in light of the current situation in the holy city, pointing to the Israeli government’s decision to allocate 100 million dollars for the purpose of confiscation of land and demolition of Palestinian houses.

BETHLEHEM, (PIC)-- Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Tuesday stormed the village of Ma’sara south of Bethlehem and told the inhabitants that their village mosque would be knocked down for unlicensed construction.
Spokesman of the popular anti-wall committee in Bethlehem Mohammed Brejiah said in a press release that the notice gave the inhabitants 13 days to contest the decision at the civil administration’s office in Etzion south of the city or else the demolition would take place after this period.
He pointed out that the village is the target of intensive settlement activity, noting that it witnesses weekly anti wall and anti settlement rallies.
The IOF troops earlier Tuesday destroyed five water wells south of Al-Khalil, local sources said, adding that clashes erupted between the soldiers and owners of the water wells. Soldiers beat the citizens and fired gas bombs at them, they said.
