Israel destroys home of Palestinian accused of killing settler

Human rights groups regularly condemn Israel’s policy of home demolitions as collective punishment

Clashes broke out when Israeli forces raided a village in the occupied West Bank and demolished the house of a Palestinian they say killed an Israeli settler last December, Qazet.az reports.

Using explosives, soldiers destroyed the home of Omar Jaradat on Saturday in the village of Silat al-Harithiya near the flashpoint city of Jenin, a statement by the Israeli army said.
