Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) on Wednesday afternoon surrounded the family home of Ashraf Na’alwa accused of killing two settlers last month in the northern West Bank village of Shweika north of Tulkarem.

A large number of Israeli troops raided Shweika village and surrounded the family home of Ashraf Na’alwa the main suspect in killing two Israeli settlers in early October in the illegal Israeli settlement of Barkan amidst the firing of stun grenades and live ammunition.

His sister was arrested and interrogated during the raid PIC reporter said.

The IOF violently searched the house for more than two hours.

This came at a time when Israeli troops detained Na’alwa’s father Walid during a predawn raid into the village.

Na’alwa’s mother Wafaa brother Amjad and sister Fayrouz have been placed behind Israeli bars for around a month in a failed attempt to pressure him to turn himself in.
