A Palestinian lady was transferred to a hospital for urgent treatment shortly after heavily-armed Israeli forces cordoned off the southern occupied West Bank city of al-Khalil and wreaked havoc on Palestinian homes.
Local sources said Israeli soldiers ransacked civilian homes in al-Khalil including the home of Palestinian citizen Mutassem al-Natsha. The latter’s wife was rushed to a local hospital as a result of the panic wrought by the arbitrary assault.
At the same time Israeli troops rolled into Dura town to the south of al-Khalil and ravaged Palestinian ex-prisoners’ homes.
Ex-prisoner Bassam al-Zeir said a full-armed patrol broke into his family home in Wad Abu al-Kamra neighborhood and forced the residents out before they smashed the property and entrance gates.
The occupation forces further sealed off the access roads to the city with a set of flying military checkpoints where Palestinian drivers and civilians have been made to endure exhaustive inspection.
