Occupation destroys Saleh Al-Aruri’s house in Ramallah


Israeli bulldozer


Israeli occupation bulldozers this morning demolished the house of a member of the Political Bureau of the Hamas movement Saleh Al-Aruri, in Arura, north of Ramallah in the West Bank.


Al-Aruri’s family were informed of the decision to demolish the house late last night after Israeli occupation soldiers stormed it.


Eyewitnesses reported that the Israeli occupation forces carried out air operations on the mountains surrounding the village, as well as numerous soldiers deployed in the streets and neighbourhood searching houses. At the same time as street-lights were turned off and a number of bulldozers headed towards the village.


Israeli occupation forces have threatened to target the houses of senior Hamas leaders in the West Bank following the disappearance of three settlers in Hebron last week.


Witnesses also reported that occupation forces surrounded the town of Beit Rima and Aroura near Ramallah, suggesting that this is likely to be a blockade as a prelude to storming the towns, especially in light of the strict reinforcements dealt by the occupying forces at the entrances to the towns.


Occupation forces raided the suburb of Balou, north of Ramallah, and stormed and searched numerous houses, as well as placing soldiers near the village of Deir Ammar, west of Ramallah with a heavy Israeli aircraft present.


They also stormed the village of Singel and Aboan.


This morning, tens of settlers attacked the cars of Palestinian citizens living in the Jabal Altaweel district in Al-Bireh.


Local sources said that dozens of armed settlers from Bsegut, built on Al-Bireh territory, smashed citizens’ cars with rocks and were rioting in the streets
