OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (Palestine Foundation Information Center), A young man was martyred at dawn Wednesday after the Israeli occupation police opened fire at him in the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Jabel al‑Mukaber.
According to the Jerusalem Governorate, 21-year-old Qasim Shuqairat was killed by Israeli police gunfire in Jabel al‑Mukaber.
Meanwhile, a young man was injured Tuesday night after being assaulted by Israeli soldiers during raids in the towns of Biddu, Beit Ijza, and Beit Duqqu, northwest of Jerusalem.
Fierce clashes erupted, with forces firing tear gas canisters, stun grenades, and live bullets at local youths before withdrawing towards the Beit Iksa checkpoint.
Large forces also stormed the Silwan neighborhood and Qalandia refugee camp in Jerusalem, as well as the town of Anata northeast of the city, where they carried out widespread raids on homes and stores.
During the raids in Anata, police officers forced Khaled Ibrahim, the owner of the “October 8” restaurant, to shut down his business and ordered him to change its name immediately.
In a separate incident, Israeli police forces forcibly evicted the Abu Basbous family from its last remaining homes in the Batn al-Hawa area of Silwan in east Jerusalem and handed them over to Jewish settlers.
The homes are owned by Jerusalemite resident Ra’fat Basbous and his father, and are located within a building that includes four apartments belonging to the family. Settlers had seized two of the apartments last Sunday after raiding them, changing the locks, and installing wires on the windows.
Today, settlers took control of the remaining two apartments. Four brothers and their father from the family lived in the building.
