		</div><p>Israeli police have evicted a Palestinian family from their home in east Jerusalem to make way for new Jewish tenants who claimed ownership.</p>
<p>Municipal officials backed by armed police enforced a court order to remove the six-member Shamasneh family from a home claimed by heirs of a Jewish family forced to abandon it in 1948 when it came under Jordanian control.</p>
<p>Israel took control of the area after the 1967 war and continued existing rental arrangements with Arab tenants, but a law allowing Jews to reclaim former homes or repurchase them have set up such conflicts.<br />
The armed officers escorted the Shamasnehs out of the home, with the elderly Ayoub Shamasneh carried out by his relatives.</p>
<p>Mr Shamasneh, 79, said his legal case was still pending. &#8220;How can they do this to us?&#8221; he said. His wife Fahima, 75, called it &#8220;pure injustice&#8221; that after more than 50 years in the house they &#8220;throw us out in the street&#8221;.</p>
<p>Palestinians claim the evictions aim to increase east Jerusalem&#8217;s Jewish population and change the area&#8217;s demography, making it harder to divide the city in any eventual peace deal. Israel says it is merely enforcing the law.</p>
