OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)--

Illegal Israeli settlers attacked Al-Qarsh family in Al-Sa'adiya neighborhood in occupied Jerusalem on Sunday night and tried to remove their furniture from their house. The settlers claim they own the house which they or their ancestors have never lived in before.

The Israeli police intervened to protect the settlers and prevented human rights activists and journalists from B'Tselem organization from entering the house to document the settlers' violations against the family.

A Judaization campaign is taking place throughout the neighborhoods and towns of Jerusalem in which Palestinian citizens are rendered homeless after their homes are demolished or seized by Israeli settlers.

In another incident, an Israeli settler deliberately ran over a Palestinian young man called Samir Abu Marih on Sunday evening in Beit Ummar, north of Al-Khalil city. The young man sustained injuries all over his body and was taken to hospital, eyewitnesses said.
