An Israeli court ordered two Palestinian families from Beit Hanina, an East Jerusalem neighbourhood, to evacuate their homes at the request of an Israeli who claimed that the land the homes were built on belong to him.

The Magistrate court said part of the land where the houses were built belongs to the Hebrew University.

According to some reports, Israel plans to build housing units for Jews on the contested property, which the two families said they would appeal the Magistrate court ruling at the Israeli High Court.
