Palestinian woman dies after tear gas inhalation as settlers seize homes

‘Israeli settlers assisted by occupation forces evicted Palestinians from two homes in the Baten al-Hawa area of Silwan in East Jerusalem on Monday.

Separately, an elderly Palestinian woman died the same day after suffering from the effects of Israeli tear gas, her family said.

“They came at 9 a.m., one hundred soldiers,” Rajai Abu Nab, one of the residents expelled by the settlers in Silwan, told Alaraby TV.

“They broke down the doors and forced us out. They smashed our furniture and threw it outside,” he added.

Some two dozens members of the Abu Nab family are now homeless.’
