Israeli occupation forces demolish house near Tulkarm

WEST BANK, April 10 (YPA) – Israeli occupation forces Thursday morning demolished the home of Ibrahim Mahmoud Daroubi in the village of Shufa, southeast of Tulkarm.

According to Palestinian sources, the demolition occurred suddenly and without prior warning. Two military bulldozers were used, under heavy protection from the occupation army, which stormed the area and climbed onto the roofs of neighboring homes after raiding them.

The sources reported that the occupation army forced Daroubi to evacuate his home within a short period of time and did not allow him to remove the contents of the house before its complete demolition.

During the demolition, the occupation forces abused the homeowners and citizens who rushed to his aid. They fired sound bombs, tear gas, and rubber bullets at anyone who tried to approach the area.

They also detained Ibrahim Daroubi’s brothers and assaulted them and their father. One of them was injured by a rubber bullet.

The targeted home, built more than five years ago, is a single-story building located in the northern part of the village. Its owner received a demolition notice about two years ago, as part of the occupation’s policy of oppressing the area’s residents and forcibly displacing them.
