Israeli forces demolished the home of a suspected terrorist overnight in the northern West Bank, clashing with Palestinian rioters on the scene, the military said Saturday morning.
The Israel Defense Forces destroyed the floor where the home of Omar Ahmed Yassin Jaradat was located in a building in the village of Silat al-Harithiya.
The operation was initially reported by Palestinian media outlets, and later confirmed by the military.
Jaradat’s home on one floor of a building was destroyed, but the external structure was left standing. The demolition took place after legal appeals by Jaradat’s family were rejected.
The IDF said that during the operation, “riots developed in various hotspots, during which suspects threw stones and threw Molotov cocktails at forces.” The military said troops also heard gunfire. READ MORE
