Sheikh Jarrah: two families handed eviction orders

Israeli settler organizations joined together on Tuesday to hand court-issued eviction notices to two Sheikh Jarrah families, Fatah official in charge of Jerusalem affairs Hatim Abdul Qader said.

The notices gave the Dajani and Dahoodi families 30 days to evacuate their homes, Abdul Qader said, bringing the total number of families facing eviction to eight.

The homes of the Al-Ghawi and Al-Kurd families were evacuated earlier this year and occupied by Israeli settler families.

`The Dajani and Dahoodi families will not leave their homes,` Abdul Qader said.

In early March, the Israeli Coalition Against Home Demolitions reported the first hearing of court cases launched by the Al-Kurd and Jaouni families.

An ICHAD brief said the cases were launched by Nahalat Shimon International, the Sephardic Community Committee and the Knesset Yisrael Committee to evict the families from their homes.

Hearings for the cases are expected to continue for months, the ICHAD said.
