He added that Younis has been barred from the camp and the apartment where she taught the 13-member Strings of Freedom orchestra has been boarded up.

No Arabs living in Palestine were evicted from their land during the War of Independence. At least, not by Jews.
This is an elaborately constructed myth that even Said Aburish, not exactly a fervent Zionist, has exposed in interviews.
