The occupation had decided to postpone the demolition of prisoner Shalabi's house at the request of the US, considering that the captive holds American citizenship and is a businessman.
Hamas Spokesman Hazem Qassem said that blowing up Shalabi's house "is an offensive act and a terrorist conduct practiced by criminal gangs."
And in a tweet on his account, Qassim emphasized that "the occupation's insistence on adopting the policy of demolishing homes confirms its inability to stop the revolution of our people and actually mirrors the stupidity of the Zionist colonizer." He also highlighted that the occupation has practiced this policy since its occupation of Palestine and has failed every time to break the unwavering strong will of the Palestinian people.
Last May, the occupation forces had arrested prisoner Muntaser Shalabi for carrying out an operation at the Za’tara checkpoint, which led to the killing of an Israeli soldier and the injury of others. Shalabi’s arrest was the result of security coordination between the Palestinian Authority and the Israeli occupation.
