Ayoub Shamasneh, 82, his 78-year-old wife, Fatima, their son, daughter-in-law, and six grandchildren are facing possible eviction from their home in the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah.
In 2009, the family of 10 was informed by the Israeli Custodian of Absentee Property that the house Ayoub had resided in for decades historically belonged to Jewish owners, and the descendants of these owners wanted the property back.
