Israeli army demolishes two more Palestinian homes

Ramallah, Mar 8 (Prensa Latina) The Israeli army has expelled two Palestinian families from their homes in the West Bank and then demolished them with the argument that militiamen who carried out a deadly attack against a settler lived there, the press denounced on Tuesday.

Maan news agency noted that the military stormed in the village of Silat al-Harithiya, north of Jenin, on Monday, where they surrounded the two houses.

After a nine-hour operation, during which clashes broke out, the military demolished the two houses, where Mohammed Jaradat and Jit Jaradat, both detained by Israel, were living.

The two prisoners are accused of the attack that took place in December 2021 near the Israeli settlement of Homesh, in which an Israeli man died.

Tel Aviv authorities defend that demolition policy by claiming that they are a deterring factor to stop other potential attackers.
