As a result,\u00a0clashes broke out between Jews and Arabs in Palestine. The state of Israel was created in 1948.\u00a0Jordan captured the Sheikh Jarrah area in the Arab-Israeli war that same year. Palestinian\u00a0homes were built on that land in the 1950&#8217;s.\u00a0In 1967, Israel captured the same territory,\u00a0annexed East Jerusalem, and returned ownership of the Sheikh Jarrah homes to Jewish trusts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Something to know:\u00a0<\/strong>At this point,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/05\/09\/world\/middleeast\/israeli-court-palestinian-families-east-jerusalem.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/newsletter.thenewsrun.com\/t\/j-l-fykcuy-iluykthdp-u\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1620789816946000&amp;usg=AFQjCNG7sGt4jk6ZZ974vna2vua6Uo3QAg\">Israeli law<\/a>\u00a0gives\u00a0Jewish settlers a chance to reclaim land that was under Jewish ownership before the 1948 war.

Pakistani business tycoon, Malik Riaz Hussain, is\u00a0the Founder and Chairman of Bahria\u00a0Town.\u00a0On Friday, BTK\u00a0security guards tried bulldozing agricultural crops to make room for new BTK housing projects on the outskirts of Karachi.

BTK security officials\u00a0said the Supreme Court gave their property developer the land,\u00a0but didn&#8217;t show any\u00a0documents to prove it. Around 100 villagers\u00a0tried to resist the destruction of agricultural land by throwing stones. In response, BTK security guards reportedly\u00a0started\u00a0firing at the villagers.
