The Salhiya family, like the other Palestinian families in Sheikh Jarrah under threat of forced expulsion, were displaced from their homes during the Nakba in 1948, and were settled into Sheikh Jarrah as refugees.
After a standoff that captured global attention, Israel forcibly displaced a Palestinian family from their home and demolished it in the middle of the night on Wednesday, in the occupied East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah.
At around 3:00 am Wednesday morning Israeli forces raided the Salhiya family home in Sheikh Jarrah and forcibly removed the 15 family members living inside the house.
According to testimony from one of the family members, Yasmin Salhiya, posted on social media, Israeli forces beat a number of the family members during the arrest, including a nine-year-old girl.
During the raid Israeli police reportedly used rubber bullets, and detained dozens of people from the Salhiya family and the neighborhood, The Guardian reported. The Israeli police and Jerusalem Municipality said in a statement that they arrested a number of people “on suspicion of violating a court order and disturbing the peace.”
