Israeli occupation forces, in their continued attack on the West Bank, have demolished the home of martyr Abdul Qader al-Qawasmi in al-Khalil.

This is the second time the occupation has demolished the martyr's home following a previous demolition in January 2024.

Security sources in the occupied West Bank also reported that large numbers of occupation troops stormed several neighborhoods and took positions near the traffic circle area before blowing up the home. The occupation forces also detained several families, blocked access to the area, and set up a military checkpoint at the northern entrance to al-Khalil.

According to the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, the occupation authorities carried out 73 demolitions in April, targeting 152 structures, including 96 inhabited homes, 10 uninhabited homes, and 34 agricultural facilities.

The largest number of demolitions occurred in Tubas Governorate with 59 structures destroyed, followed by 39 in al-Khalil and 17 in the occupied al-Quds Governorate.

For the past two years, the barrier has seen repeated closures and limitations targeting Palestinians seeking entry to the region.
