The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Wednesday morning detonated the family house of martyr Omar Abul Laila in az-Zawiya town west of Salfit causing widespread damage to nearby homes.
According to local sources Israeli troops and two military bulldozers stormed az-Zawiya town at 10:30 pm on Tuesday spread through its streets and announced the town a closed military zone.
Then soldiers stormed the house of martyr Abu Laila and embarked on destroying parts of its interior walls and placed explosives inside them before blowing it up at six o’clock on Wednesday morning.
The IOF also forced dozens of citizens along with children and women to leave nearby homes and fired volleys of stun and tear gas grenades at angry citizens and journalists as they were documenting the events in the town.
Eyewitnesses affirmed that about 50 families were forced to stay outdoors during the demolition and detonation of the house.
Meanwhile violent clashes broke out between the IOF and local young men and lasted for over seven hours.
On March 17 2019 martyr Abu Laila managed to shot dead two Israeli settlers including a soldier on a road near an illegal settlement in the occupied West Bank.
