AL-KHALIL (PIC)– Israeli occupation forces (IOF) blasted part of the home of a Palestinian citizen in Yatta town south of Al-Khalil and broke many of its furniture at dawn Thursday.
Eyewitnesses told the PIC that the soldiers stormed the town in nine armored vehicles and a jeep carrying senior army officers and served a summons to Ratib Mughanam after blasting their way into his home.
IOF units stormed other villages in the province and checked IDs at roadblocks causing long queues in the rainy weather.
IOF soldiers meanwhile threatened inhabitants in Mafqara to the south east of Yatta against repairing their only mosque at the pretext that it was located in a military zone.
Locals told the PIC that the IOF soldiers had repeatedly warned against maintaining that mosque adding that employees of the civil administration threatened to evict all inhabitants and raze their homes if the mosque was repaired.
