JENIN, (Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) detonated two homes belonging to the families of two martyrs during a raid on the town of Qabatiya, south of Jenin, on Thursday.
Local sources reported that a large Israeli military force, accompanied by a bulldozer, stormed the town, raided several homes, and ransacked their contents.
The sources added that the IOF evacuated a number of homes in the Zakarneh neighborhood and the Al-Jalama area, turning them into military posts. They also raided the home of Abdullah Al-Jazra, arresting him after searching and vandalizing the property, and carried out a wide campaign of detentions targeting young men in the town.
Israeli soldiers stormed the homes of the two martyrs, Wael Idrees Lahlooh and Mohammed Nazzal, rigging them with explosives before detonating them. The demolition came after prior demolition notices had been issued on June 20.
The IOF had assassinated martyr Wael Idrees Lahlooh along with three others on December 1, 2024, by bombing a farming hut they were inside in the village of Sa’ir, south of Jenin.
As for martyr Mohammed As’ad Nazzal, the IOF assassinated him along with martyr Qutaiba Al-Shalabi after besieging them in a house in Burqin, west of Jenin, bombarding it with shoulder-fired missiles, and then demolishing it with bulldozers while they were still inside.
