The Israeli occupation forces at daybreak Tuesday demolished the family home of Palestinian prisoner Ahmed al-Kunba’ in Jenin.
According to local sources Israeli soldiers closed off al-Basateen neighborhood in Jenin and ordered Palestinian families to evacuate their homes pending the demolition of al-Kunbur’s family home.
Fierce clashes flared up shortly after the occupation soldiers rolled into the area and targeted Palestinian anti-occupation youth with teargas canisters resulting in several suffocation cases.
Shortly before the demolition process the Israeli military forced journalists out of the area at gunpoint turning the neighborhood into a military barrack.
The demolition order was issued on charges that al-Kunba’ took part in an anti-occupation attack carried out by slain Ahmed Jarrar and which left an extremist Israeli rabbi dead.
