"Israeli" forces on Monday bulldozed five steel structures belonging to a Palestinian community in the East al-Quds town of al-Eizariya, locals said.

’Israeli’ Forces Demolish 5 Bedouin Structures East of Al-QudsA large group of "Israeli" forces raided the town after midnight and surrounded steel structures belonging to the Bedouin al-Jahalin community.

"Israeli" soldiers forcibly evicted five families from the structures, leaving 55 people homeless, Sami Abu Ghaliya, a spokesman of the al-Jahalin tribe council, announced.

The demolitions took place without giving residents time to gather their belongings. The structures housed a greengrocers and a car wash which provided the main source of income for the community.

"They want to displace us and leave us homeless as they did to us in the Nakba of 1948 and the Naksa of 1967," Abu Ghaliya said.
He further said: "We have been living on this land since more than 60 years."
For his part, Hani Halabiyya, a spokesman of the Palestinian youth movement in Eastal, stated: ""Israel" is planning to displace the al-Jahalin tribe to build part of its separation wall in the area."

In the 1950s, the al-Jahalin community was forcibly displaced from its ancestral home in al-Naqab desert and resettled east of Occupied al-Quds.
"Israeli" forces displaced groups of the community in the 1990s to make way for the Maale Adumim settlement.
