Ben-Ari and Eldad "affixed mezuzahs" inside of the house, ritualistically marking the takeover.

 

The Knesset ministers hope to judaize Beit Hanina, though historically there have never been Jewish residents in this East Jerusalem neighborhood. On Facebook, Ben-Ari said the settlers will build 50 new housing units on the property.
