According to Mohammed Kirresh, 22, a member of the Palestinian family, "Jewish people and Israeli soldiers with weapons" came at 2am, when most of the family was at a wedding.
He said the family, which had rented the property since 1936, had won two previous court cases challenging eviction orders. He claimed the Israelis had broken furniture and damaged belongings.
"Everything we own is inside – our money, ID papers, clothes, food," he said. Armed police were guarding the entrance to the house.

The new occupants of the house refused to speak to the press.
Well, keep pushing for those peace talks, Mr. Obama. I'm sure they'll fix everything.
