Under the Eyes of the Occupation Army.. Settlers Burn a Palestinian Family's Home in Nablus

Nablus - Afaq News - Under the watchful eyes of the occupation army, settlers continue their crimes against Palestinians, as they set fire to the home of the Tubasi family in the village of Jlood in the Nablus area on Monday evening, after the family was forced to leave their home last July, following months of harassment and repeated assaults by the settlers.

The burning of the house came after the occupation army attempted to assist the family in returning to it, while groups of hill youth called for preventing their return.

The head of the family, Mahmoud, said: "We were besieged in our home for almost three months, and in the end, they expelled us."

He described how the harassment began in early April, targeting two adjacent homes built by family members themselves.

Mahmoud Tubasi told Yedioth Ahronoth that the settlers burned the doors of the houses, pelted them with stones, set up a tent adjacent to them, demolished part of the house, burned a storage room, cut off water and electricity, and blocked the road leading to the village.

He added that the family left on July 22 after exhausting their ability to endure, noting that settlers attempted to storm the homes after their departure, but the soldiers prevented them, while the family fears their return as soon as the army withdraws.
