The Israeli occupation forces blew up a house in Qalqilya city at dawn on Thursday.

According to local sources, these forces blew up a house belonging to the family of the martyr "Jamal Abu Haniya" in Qalqilya, which consists of three floors and an area of no less than 100 square meters.

The sources reported that the occupation forces stormed the city of Qalqilya from its eastern entrance at dawn and deployed on Street 22 in the Islamic College area. The occupation soldiers began digging with heavy machinery near the homes of the two martyrs, Ali Khalil Abu Bakr and Jamal Abu Haniya. The excavations then concentrated on Abu Haniya’s home, and the occupation forced the citizens living in the area to evacuate their homes until the excavations were completed. Then the occupation completely blew up the house.

Abu Haniya was martyred in August of last year in a bombing operation carried out by the occupation on a vehicle on the Zeita-Attil road north of Tulkarm, which led to the vehicle catching fire and his martyrdom. He was accompanied by the martyr Ali Khalil Abu Bakr.

In this context, the Israeli occupation authorities continue to tighten their military measures, including raids and military checkpoints at the entrances to villages and towns in the governorate, and deliberately obstruct the movement of citizens by stopping their vehicles and searching them thoroughly at the checkpoints at the entrances to the villages of “Al-Funduq, Wamatin, and Nabi Elias.”
