| Occupation forces detain four Palestinians, injure one with gunfire near Jerusalem | | WAFAS News Agency - JERUSALEM, Sunday, March 14, 2021 (WAFA) –
Israeli occupation forces last night detained four Palestinians and
injured another one with gunfire during raids in occupied Jerusalem
and neighboring villages, according to local sources and witnesses.
Heavily armed Israeli police officers stormed the neighborhoods of
al-Isawiya and al-Tour in the occupied capital, where they detained
four Palestinians after raiding and searching their homes. Among the
detainees was a 17-year-old minor identified as Ibrahim Huneti.
Meanwhile, an Israeli occupation army force raided the village of
Hizma, northeast of Jerusalem on the West Bank side of the Israeli
segregation barrier, and clashed with local residents. A protester
was reportedly shot and injured by a live gunshot in his thigh bone
fired at home by Israeli soldiers.
In the meantime, Israeli occupation soldiers physically assaulted and
briefly detained a Palestinian from the village of Kifl Haris, north
of the occupied West Bank city of Salfit. Witnesses told WAFA that
Israeli soldiers assaulted Mr. Nabil Ebeid near the Kifl Haris
square, just outside the illegal Israeli settlement of Ariel The
soldiers reportedly attempted to falsely accuse Ebeid of attempting
to carry out a stabbing attack against them in order to justify the
assault, before letting him go.(rh)

| Israeli police arrests former Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Ikrima Sabri | | Al-jazeera - Israeli police and intelligence teams surrounded the
home of Ikrima Sabri, former Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, and ordered
him to come with them. No reason was given for the detention. Sabi
is involved in an ongoing, escalating confrontation with the Israeli
authorities, who accuse him of "incitement" and have banned him form
entering and preaching at the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Sabri believes that
the authorities dislike his ongoing confrontation with Israeli
extreme right Messianist group who demand Jewish prayer in the Haram
A Sharif Compound (Temple Mount in Jewish tradition), as a
preliminary to rebuliding there the Jewish Temple. The incursions of
such groups are on the increase. The detention of Sabri coincided
with 66 of them invading Haram a Sharif, under protection of the
Israeli police, headed by the famous (notorious to Muslims) Rabbi
Yehdua Glick. [ak] | 11/3/2021 |

| Palestinian Dies in Fire After Israeli Forces Detain Firetruck at Checkpoint | | IMEMC - 34-year old Ahmad Dola, his wife and two-month old infant
were sleeping in their home at Kafr Aqab, the northernmost
neighborhood of East Jerusalem, when a fire started in the house.
Neighbors called the Palestinian Fire Brigade, whose firetruck
deployed immediately after receiving the call - but despite clearly
being in emergency mode with sirens and lights, it was blocked by
the Israeli soldiers at the Qalandia checkpoint ahd held there for
half an hour. By the time it was allowed to proceed, it was too
late: the house had burned down, Ahmad Dola was dead - having
managed to extricate his wife and child and then died from inhaling
smoke. The problem is that Kafr Aqab is in an anomalous position -
annexed to Israel in 1967 and therefore considered part of Israeli
Jerusalem, entry to which is subject to stringent searches at the
checkpoint - but in practice given up by the Israeli municipal
authorities and getting no services. Years ago the idea was raised
of giving of giving Kafr Aqab its own fire station - but it never
happened. [ak] | 11/3/2021 |

| Jerusalem Section of al-Walajeh under Threat of Forced Displacement | | Ir Amim and Bimkom - Alert - Israel has been gradually confiscating al-Walajeh lands and detaching it from the Palestinian space around it. While its northern segment is situated within the Jerusalem municipal borders, the construction of the Separation Barrier between 2010 and 2017 around three sides of the village turned it into a nearly isolated enclave. The barrier severed it from the rest of the city, while likewise separating it from some 1200 dunams of the village`s agricultural lands now located on the Israeli side of the barrier. In tandem, these lands were declared by the Israeli Authorities as the Nahal Refaim National Park, a form of “touristic settlement,” which would serve to create Israeli territorial contiguity between Jerusalem and the Har Gilo settlement (part of the Gush Etzion bloc), constituting another link in the de facto annexation of "Greater Jerusalem."

| Can Silwan’s rekindled protests beat back Israel’s eviction threats? | | Oren Ziv - +972 - A Palestinian activist feels energized by Israeli activists joining the neighborhood`s struggle. Still, there is little hope that the courts will stop the settlers` eviction campaign. The Legal and Administrative Matters Law of 1970 stipulates that Jews who owned property in East Jerusalem and lost it during and following the 1948 war can demand it back from the Custodian General. Meanwhile the Absentees’ Property Law of 1950 decrees that Palestinians who fled or were expelled during the 1948 would not be entitled to return to the properties they lost in the exact same war...
