Hamas: The occupation recruited Africans to compensate for the bleeding in its ranks due to the resistance
Jerusalem – Ma’an – The Islamic Resistance Movement “Hamas” said that what the Israeli media revealed about the occupation army recruiting “African asylum seekers” to fight in its ranks as mercenaries, “confirms the depth of the moral crisis that this rogue entity is experiencing.”
The movement stated in a press release that this recruitment confirms the occupation’s violation of the most basic human rights rules, by exploiting the needs of immigrants and asylum seekers, ‘to throw them into battles, and to try to compensate for the great loss in the number of its army due to the resistance’s confrontation in the Gaza Strip.’
The movement called on the international community and international human rights institutions to condemn this crime, which expresses the ‘behavior of racist gangs,’ and to take the necessary measures to hold the occupation leaders accountable for their serious violations of the laws of war and international and humanitarian law.

In preparation for land confiscation – the occupation forces the Alian family to demolish their home in Beit Safafa
Jerusalem – Ma’an – The family of Ahmad Alian was forced, on Sunday, to demolish their home in Beit Safafa, with their own hands, under the pretext of “confiscating the land” on which the building was built.
Today, a session was held in the occupation court to consider the appeal submitted by the family against the demolition decision, but the court rejected the appeal and insisted on carrying out the demolition.
The Alian family explained that the occupation authorities have been trying for years to confiscate the land and seize it, under various pretexts and excuses, and recently decided to demolish the house that has been in existence for 23 years, in addition to paying a land use fee of ‘one million shekels.’
Abdul Aliyan, one of the landowners, said that the building and stone are compensated, and today we have a new battle to preserve the land and prevent its confiscation.
Alian’s house is located among dozens of settler homes, and for years the occupation authorities have been confiscating the fami
ly’s lands to pave roads or implement construction projects for the settlers. Today, the occupation authorities are trying to confiscate new parts of the family.
The Alyan family confirmed that they have all the papers and documents that confirm that they own the land, and they will go to court to recover it.
The house area is 120 square meters, and 5 people live in it.
