As we were sitting at Nawwal's (our local contact) shop in the Old Souq and drinking tea, the settlers broke into the Al-Uwiwi family house just next door and turned it upside down. Blocks of concrete, windows, chairs -the whole household- came down from the roof accompanied by a frightening noise. People were scared, children crying. A Palestinian boy started throwing stones up towards the settlers. - Hallas (stop it) -we demanded, knowing it can only make the situation escalate. - This is his house being destroyed. How can you expect him to stop - Nawwal explained.
At the same time 250 settlers were being evacuated from the Occupied House. The Al-Uwiwi family house destruction was one of the many brutal attacks on Palestinians as revenge for the Occupied House evacuation, a house called by Jewish settlers Beit HaShalom (The House of Peace).
