As a result of the two bombings, an Israeli-Canadian boy (15 years old) and an Israeli man (50 years old) died of their wounds.
On Thursday, the Israeli army blew up the home of a Palestinian man accused of carrying out an attack in which two Israelis were killed last November in Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank.
According to an AFP reporter, the army blew up the first floor where Islam al-Farroukh, who was being held by Israel, was living. The house is located in a four-storey building in Ramallah, the seat of the Palestinian leadership.
Al-Faroukh, an engineer, was arrested in December and charged with carrying out a twin bombing attack at an entrance to Jerusalem in November.
As a result of the two bombings, an Israeli-Canadian boy (15 years old) and an Israeli man (50 years old) died of their wounds.
The army said in a statement that it demolished Al-Faroukh’s house following “rejecting a petition submitted to the Supreme Court once morest the demolition.”
And the AFP lens monitored dozens of Palestinian youths inspecting the destruction that befell the house following the army withdrew.
A large banner bearing the image of chicks was hung on one of the facades of the building.
“A hateful and brutal occupation,” his mother told AFP, standing on the ruins of the house.
Clashes erupted at night in Ramallah between Palestinian youths and the Israeli army. The youths threw stones and Moore bottles at the army vehicles.
For its part, the Israeli army spoke of “violent disturbances… during which suspects threw stones, petrol bombs and explosives at the troops.”
The Israeli forces responded, according to the army statement, “with means of dispersing demonstrations and live fire, and injuries were reported.”
And the Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that there were 6 injuries, including four from live bullets and live rubber-coated bullets.
Among the wounded were two Palestinian journalists.
Israel regularly demolishes the homes of Palestinians it accuses of carrying out attacks once morest it, in an effort the government says is intended to deter.
This policy faces criticism, especially by human rights organizations, which consider it collective punishment.
Islam Al-Faroukh, a Palestinian from East Jerusalem occupied by Israel since 1967, holds an Israeli residency card and lives in Ramallah.
The army said it had planned the attack on its own and was influenced by “Salafi ideology” and “associated with ISIS”.
