One of the displaced women said, while crying, that the occupation forces had invaded the area 5 days ago and warned them to evacuate. She added that these forces returned today, Saturday, and blew up the entrance to the building and demanded that the families inside it leave. She went on to say, “Even though we raised our hands in surrender, they shot my uncle. They ordered us to get out and evacuate the building.”
To further humiliate the citizens, the occupation forces forced a number of family members to take off their clothes and arrested them - according to the displaced woman - who added that the occupation army booby-trapped the building with explosives, and gave the family only 10 minutes to leave.
The video showed women and children trembling with horror and fear from the frightening experience of raiding the occupation army, which they went through at gunpoint, while another displaced woman witnessed the brutality of the Israeli army, which ran over one of her family members with a tank.
