Israeli troops forcibly displace families from school in Beit Hanoun
Israeli troops issued displacement orders to families from a school in Beit Hanoun, northern Gaza, early this Sunday morning, under threat of gunfire, Palestinian Wafa reported.
According to local reports, Israeli troops surrounded the Khalil Oweida School and ordered the displaced residents to leave. The evacuees were directed toward a military checkpoint set up on Salah Al Din Street, where several people were detained by the Israeli troops, said the report.
The forced displacement has added to the growing number of displaced people in Gaza, as the Israeli aggression in Gaza continues.

Israeli authorities issue demolition order for mosque in occupied Jerusalem
Israeli authorities on Saturday forced a Palestinian resident to demolish his storage centre and issued a demolition order for a mosque in the Silwan neighbourhood, south of the Al Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem, Wafa reported.
Local sources reported that Israeli authorities compelled Youssef Al Tawil, a Palestinian citizen, to demolish his storage centre, that has been there for 43 years.
Additionally, the Israeli authorities issued an order for the demolition of Al Isra Mosque in Silwan within 21 days, and imposed a fine of 40,000 shekels.
Silwan, just one kilometre south of Al Aqsa Mosque, is home to tens of thousands of Palestinians who face the continuing threat of forced displacement due to Israel's efforts to alter the demographic and geographic makeup of the area through settlement expansion and policies of Judaisation.
