JERUSALEM (Ma’an) -- Twenty East Jerusalemites were rendered homeless on Tuesday, when Israeli police delivered an eviction notice to three families in a Jabal Al-Mukabber home early in the day.

Witnesses said there were more than forty police officers and a dozen settlers outside the home when the notice was delivered to the home in the Al-Farouq quarter of the neighborhood.

Residents said the home is owned by the family of Ali Kara’in, passed on to relatives when he passed away in the 1990s.

According to Israeli media reports, Wohl Investments is claiming ownership of the home, and the case was taken on by the settler advocacy organization Elad.

Fakhri Abu Diab, with the popular committee in the neighboring area of Silwan, said families in the building received a notice of eviction three months earlier, but had been made aware that the building was being targeted by settler groups as early as 2007.
