Palestinians manage to evict settlers in Hebron in rare win
An Israeli court ordered the eviction of settlers from a house they occupied in the Old Town of Hebron, marking a significant and rare win for Palestinians and the committee defending their rights.
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The Hebron Rehabilitation Committee announced March 12 that it had won an Israeli Magistrates Court decision to evict settlers from the al-Bakri family's house in Tel Rumeida neighborhood in the Old City of Hebron.
This case, presented by the committee before Israeli courts in 2005, took the longest time ever to be settled, after a 14-year legal dispute across different Israeli courts. The importance of the case lies in the location of the house that is situated inside a closed military zone in the Old City.
