The Israeli occupation army at dawn Wednesday demolished the house of a Palestinian family in Kobar village northwest of Ramallah as a punitive measure after their relative Omar al-Abed carried out a deadly stabbing attack last month in Halamish settlement.
According to local sources over 15 military vehicles escorting bulldozers entered at dawn the village and embarked on knocking down the house.
Consequently violent clashes broke out between local young men and soldiers during which the latter intensively fired tear gas and rubber bullets.
A journalist identified as Mohamed Radi reportedly suffered a rubber bullet injury in his head and was rushed to a hospital for medical assistance.
During the past few days Israeli soldiers kidnapped the parents of Abed and other relatives from their home in the village.
Abed carried out a stabbing attack on July 21 in the illegal settlement of Halamish (Ramallah) in response to Israel’s closure of the Aqsa Mosque and its killing of three Palestinian citizens during related events at the time.
The Halamish operation which was hailed by the Palestinian resistance led to the death of three settlers and the injury of another from the same family.
