Israeli army demolishes home of Palestinian accused in deadly attack
Israeli soldiers have entered the town of al-Qubeiba and blown up the family home of a man accused of carrying out an attack on Israelis in occupied East Jerusalem in early September.
Troops forced dozens of Palestinian families living in the vicinity of the targeted house to evacuate, and a complete curfew was imposed, residents told the Wafa news agency.
The man identified as Muthana Amro, along with Muhammad Taha, were accused of carrying out a shooting attack near the Ramot settlement in East Jerusalem on September 9. The shooting killed six people and wounded a number of others.
Israel typically destroys the homes of Palestinians it accuses of carrying out attacks – a practice widely condemned by human rights organisations as collective punishment.
Mayor Nafiz Hamouda said the military notified residents 10 days earlier of its intention to demolish the property, the family home of an alleged attacker who shot and killed six Israelis in early September.
“Last night they came, and at dawn today the house was blown up,” he said. The blast also caused significant damage to four or five neighbouring houses, Hamouda said.
“This is the nature of the occupation. It does not stop at harming one individual, but seeks to inflict damage on as many citizens as possible.”
