Eid Qawass, an owner of one of those homes was beaten up so badly that he had to be sent to a hospital, sources in the old city of Jerusalem reported.

Qawwas was harshly attacked by Israeli policemen who punched and kicked him. 

Local sources stated that the attack happened for no reason and that soldiers were attacking randomly the homes and gave no justifications.

Qawwas voiced an appeal to human rights groups to intervene for the protection of the Palestinians in Jerusalem and called on the residents to remain steadfast in their lands and homes as Israeli is attempting to force them out.
