On Friday dawn, Israeli soldiers detonated a Palestinian home in Orif village, south of Nablus, in the occupied West Bank’s northern part.
Many army vehicles invaded the town before surrounding a Palestinian home and forcing the families out in the cold.
The soldiers then wired the four-story home, providing shelter for sixteen Palestinians, and detonated it.
Four families live on the property owned by the family of Khaled Mustafa Sabah, 24, whom Israeli soldiers killed after he and another Palestinian killed four Israeli colonizers and injured four in the occupied West Bank.
Mohannad Faleh Shahada, 26, was killed at the scene by an Israeli paramilitary colonial settler, while Khaled managed to escape from the scene of the shooting but was pursued by Israeli soldiers who killed him and wounded another Palestinian civilian.
The Israeli policy of home demolitions is an illegal act of Collective Punishment targeting entire families despite criticism from various international human rights groups.
Collective Punishment also violates International Law, the Hague Regulations, the Geneva Conventions, and various international resolutions that label this practice a war crime.
