Today, Tuesday, settlers seized the house of Jerusalemite Jawad Abu Nab, which is threatened with eviction, in the Batn al-Hawa neighborhood in the town of Silwan, south of Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The settlers, guarded by the occupation police and special forces, stormed Abu Nab’s house and began maintenance work in his yard and installed barbed wire and surveillance cameras on the house’s walls.

Last Thursday, the Central Occupation Court in Jerusalem issued a decision to evacuate the Abu Nab family home and other homes of the Ghaith and Al-Rajabi families in favor of the settlers, and gave the families 90 days to object to the decision.

The settlers anticipated the families' ability to appeal the decision to the Supreme Occupation Court. They also took advantage of the absence of residents in Abu Naab's house, due to the house being located inside a settlement outpost that was leaked to settler organizations since 2015.

The area of the house is about 100 square meters and it directly overlooks Al-Aqsa Mosque.
