The house was leveled one hour before an Israeli court was supposed to examine an appeal regarding an Israeli order to level it.
Al Ja’bary stated that he did not receive any official order informing him the Israeli authorities intend to level his house during this period. Before bulldozing the house, soldiers surrounded in and violently forced the family out.

After receiving the warning, the lawyer started to conduct the legal proceedings.
