Israel to demolish two detained brothers’ family house

Friday 21-January-2022

The Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) handed the family of two imprisoned brothers a demolition order against their family house on Thursday evening.

The two brothers Ghaith and Omar Jaradat were accused of being allegedly involved in a shooting attack near the evacuated Homesh settlement last December.

Their mother Awatef Jaradat was also arrested following the alleged attack. Since then her detention was renewed more than once.

Israeli authorities have long used to punitively demolish the family homes of Palestinians accused of carrying out attacks on Israelis a policy that Israel does not apply to Jewish settlers who are involved in fatal attacks against Palestinians.

The policy has been widely condemned by human rights groups as a collective punishment and a war crime.
