Israeli soldiers injured, on Saturday at night, several Palestinians and abducted three Palestinians, including two women, after illegal colonialist settlers attacked the residents and wounded three, in Sheikh Jarrah Palestinian neighborhood, in the occupied Palestinian capital, Jerusalem, in the West Bank.

Media sources said protests erupted in Sheikh Jarrah after illegal Israeli colonialist settlers attacked Palestinians from the Abdul-Latif family, and injured three of them before the soldiers abducted a young man, identified as Samir Khalil Abdul-Latif.

The soldiers also abducted two young women identified as Asala Abu Hasna along with her sister, Alisar, (Video by Silwanic), while they were walking towards their home. (See video by Wadi Hilweh Information Center In Silwan (Silwanic).

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said its medics also provided treatment to three Palestinians who were assaulted by the soldiers and moved one of them to a hospital.

Sheikh Jarrah Palestinian neighborhood continues to be subject to the constant Israeli violations, carried out by the soldiers and the illegal colonialist settlers, especially amidst the ongoing Israeli plans to remove all the Palestinians to replace them with illegal Israeli colonialist settlers.

It is worth mentioning that many Palestinian families are living in Sheikh Jarrah after they were forced out of their homes and lands during the Nakba of 1948, when Israel was established in the historic land of Palestine, after ethnically cleansing hundreds of towns and villages.

In the year 2020, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) stated that Israeli colonialist groups filed lawsuits with Israeli courts to displace more than 218 Palestinian families (970 persons, including at least 424 children), in occupied East Jerusalem, including 75 families in Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood.

The Israeli Supreme Court recently postponed the deliberation of appeals filed by four families in Sheikh Jarrah, while three other families are awaiting a hearing which is said to be conducted in August of this year.
