Jewish settlers last night seized a Palestinian residential building in Wadi Hilweh neighborhood in occupied East Jerusalem’s Silwan, the Palestinian Information Centre reported.
The Wadi Hilweh Information Centre said that dozens of masked Israeli policemen and settlers stormed the Wadi Hilweh neighbourhood, closed the entrance to the Al-Fakhouri yard with a truck and prevented locals from approaching the area. They took control of a house after entering it from its main door, as the residents weren’t inside.

It pointed out that the building consists of two floors, made up of a total area of 160 square metres.
On Wednesday, Israeli forces installed surveillance cameras at the entrance to the neighborhood.
