IOF to demolish Palestinian martyr Muhammad Al-Jabari's home

• 

The Israeli occupation forces announced their intentions to demolish Palestinian martyr Muhammad al-Jabari's home in Al-Khalil in the occupied West Bank.

Al-Jabari (35), was a husband and father of three and was an Islamic education teacher at his point of residence in Al-Khalil. He was the brother of liberated prisoner Wael Al-Jabari, who was exiled by the occupation to the Gaza Strip.

After the "Kiryat Arba" settlement operation, Hamas released a statement saying the operation proves that the resistance is capable of surprising the occupation with powerful blows, noting that armed struggle is the only response to the Zionist's settlement plans, as the occupation continues to expand in the occupied West Bank.

Al-Ja'bari was martyred after being shot and run over following the operation in the "Kiryat Arba" settlement in Al-Khalil on October 29, which resulted in the death of an illegal Israeli settler.

According to local media sources, the attacker confronted soldiers for five minutes after he conducted his operation. Several settlers were hit and injured during the operation, and given the gravity of one of the casualties' situation, a helicopter was called in to transport and treat them.

The Israeli Maariv website reported that "shots were fired at the house of MK Itamar Ben Gvir," noting that "the operation took place three days before the elections, as security guards ordered family members not to leave the house."
