Demolition of house and shops

Large forces of the occupation army and its bulldozers raided the town of Biddu, and carried out extensive demolition operations targeting a house and shops.

Tel Aviv Tribune Net’s correspondent in Jerusalem reported that “the occupation forces, backed by machinery, demolished a house belonging to Jerusalemite Wael Abu Eid, with an area of ​​250 square metres, inhabited by his family of 5 people.”

Speaking to Tel Aviv Tribune Net, Abu Eid estimated his losses at about one and a half million shekels (about $400,000).

The occupation forces also demolished 3 commercial facilities used as garages for vehicle repair and maintenance, with a total area estimated at 320 square meters.

According to the Jerusalem Governorate, the demolition also included a building under construction, a private garden, a home swimming pool, and a retaining wall for agricultural land in the same town.

For its part, the Wadi Hilweh Human Rights Information Center in Jerusalem reported that a large force from the occupation army raided the home of the wounded man, Hael Daif Allah, who is accused of carrying out a run-over attack east of Ramallah, in the town of Rafat, northwest of Jerusalem, and took measurements of his home in preparation for its demolition.

In the town of Issawiya, the center said that the occupation forces demolished agricultural rooms and chains, swept away barbed wire, uprooted trees, and swept away water pipes used by families living in the eastern part of the town, which was isolated by the wall outside the city.

Assault on a young man

On the other hand, the human rights center said that settlers assaulted the young Jerusalemite, Daoud Hamouda (20 years old), after midnight last night, severely beating him while he was in the Bnei Brak area, north of Tel Aviv.

He pointed out that “a group of settlers blocked Hamouda’s way with a car, then got out of it, prevented him from walking and advancing, pulled him out of his car and beat him using sticks and electric shocks, in addition to punching and hitting him repeatedly, then he lost consciousness.”

She added that the young man’s family went to the Tel Aviv police to find out what happened, but they were not dealt with.

According to the center, Hamouda was suffering from “bruises, wounds and scratches all over his body, and was in critical health condition, after which he was transferred to the hospital in Tel Aviv.”

Martyrs and detainees

Data published by the Jerusalem Governorate today indicated that the Israeli occupation killed 68 Palestinians in Jerusalem, arrested 1,711, and carried out 307 demolitions since October 7, 2023.

The governorate said that the martyrs were from the Jerusalem governorate or were martyred on its land, and among them were 28 children under the age of 18.

She pointed out that 40 of them were martyred between October 7 and the end of 2023, and the rest since the beginning of this year.

She added, “The occupation authorities are still holding the bodies of 43 Jerusalemite martyrs until September 8, 2024, in refrigerators and numbered graves.”

Regarding injuries, she stated that the occupation’s use of excessive force against Jerusalemites led to 234 injuries “as a result of live and rubber-coated metal bullets, severe beatings, in addition to cases of suffocation from gas.”

Violations in Al-Aqsa

Regarding violations against Al-Aqsa Mosque, the governorate stated that 46,293 settlers stormed the mosque since October 7, and indicated that the intruders performed “prayers and Talmudic rituals, and wore costumes” during the storming.

She stressed the continuation of “the siege of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the restriction of entry of Muslim worshippers to it, noting that the occupation forces are stationed at its gates all the time, placing iron barriers and stopping those coming to it, and restricting worshippers on Fridays.”

She pointed out that restrictions were imposed on the number of participants allowed in funerals, limiting them to a maximum of 10 people.

Regarding the 1,711 cases of arrest that were monitored, she stated that among them were 137 cases of arrest of children and 96 women, pointing to 99 decisions of house arrest since October 7.

The Jerusalem Governorate said that the occupation authorities are using the deportation decisions they issue as a means to suppress the Palestinian presence in the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Old City, Bab al-Amoud and other targeted neighborhoods, “as they have issued 103 deportation decisions” since October 7, in addition to 11 travel ban decisions.

The Jerusalem Governorate pointed out the increasing attacks by settlers and Jewish extremists on Palestinians in general, and on the residents of the Jerusalem Governorate in particular, as it monitored 138 attacks since October 7, including 20 attacks involving physical harm.
