Israeli forces blow up home of Palestinian martyr, arrest his father

The Israeli occupation forces blew up the home of the martyr Diaa Hamrasheh in the occupied West Bank and arrested his father, on Thursday.

The occupation authorities blew up the two-storey building of Dia Hamrasheh in the village of Yabad in the city of Jenin, in occupied West Bank.

According to the Arabic daily Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, the units of the engineering teams of the Israeli forces planted explosives in the house of the family of the martyr Hamrasha, and evacuated the houses surrounding the house of the martyr’s family from its residents, then blew up the house, and flattening it to the ground.

The army also arrested Hamarsheh’s 59-year-old father, Ahmad, after the demolition.

On March 29, 27-year-old Hamarsheh carried out an operation in Bnei Brak in Tel Aviv, killing five Israelis. He was killed in a shoot-out with Israeli police at the scene.

Clashes erupted between Palestinians and the Israeli army, during which the youths threw stones at the soldiers, and the soldiers responded with heavy bullets, tear gas and sound bombs.

The occupation forces opened fire on an ambulance officer while evacuating one of the injured in the town of Yabad, and the occupation soldiers fired stun and tear gas canisters extensively toward the homes of citizens, which led to dozens of cases of suffocation.

On Wednesday evening, the town of Yabad witnessed violent confrontations in conjunction with its storming of the house of the family of martyr Hamarsheh. 24-year-old, Bilal Kabha, was martyred and three Palestinians were seriously wounded by the Israeli occupation forces, who deployed their snipers on the roofs of the houses.

The city of Jenin witnessed a march in which young men carried the corpse of the martyr Kabha on their shoulders, and roamed the streets of the city with the angry chants condemning the crimes of the occupation.

The Israeli occupation authorities usually demolish the homes of Palestinians who carry out operations that result in the killing of Israelis, which human rights organizations criticize, and consider a collective punishment.
