Israeli bulldozers accompanied by large police forces on Monday morning demolished a Palestinian house in Sakhnin city in the 1948 occupied Palestinian territories for allegedly being unlicensed.
According to Arab 48 website tension flared up in Sakhnin after Palestinian citizens rushed to the house owned by the Palestinian Hussein Othman to prevent the demolition.
Eyewitnesses said that Israeli police forces assaulted the Palestinian citizens gathering in the area and arrested a number of them. At least 10 Palestinians were injured including an elderly woman.
Reporter of Arab 48 said that the Israeli police early Monday summoned the owner of the house and his wife for interrogation. When the couple left the house the police surrounded it and provided protection to the bulldozers to start the demolition.
