Nablus
- The Israeli occupation forces demolished the walls of the house of the prisoner Mahmoud Jaradat (Abu Sajid) in the village of Al-Saila Al-Harithiya near the city of Jenin in the northern West Bank.
This comes against the backdrop of his and others' involvement in carrying out the "Homish" settlement operation near the entrance to the village of Burqa, northwest of Nablus on December 16, and the killing of an Israeli settler.
Before starting the demolition, the Palestinian Ministry of Health announced the death of the 17-year-old boy, Muhammad Akram Abu Salah, from the village of Al-Yamoun, adjacent to the village of Al-Saila Al-Harithiya, after he was shot in the head by the occupation during clashes that erupted in the village of Al-Sila.

Clashes and injuries
Others sustained injuries, some described as serious, after hundreds of citizens from the village and the neighboring villages gathered to confront the occupation forces that stormed the village before midnight to demolish the house.
An armed clash took place between Palestinian resistance fighters and the occupation soldiers inside the village of Al-Sila, where the occupation army declared its alert and closed the entire area.
Returning to the demolition process, local sources reported that large forces of the occupation army stormed the village with dozens of military vehicles, surrounded the house, made holes in its walls and demolished them, and then blew it up completely.

And the Palestinian journalist Mujahid Al-Saadi - who is from the city of Jenin - reported that the occupation army penetrated with dozens of military vehicles and bulldozers into the village of Al-Sila at around ten o'clock in the evening yesterday, Sunday, and spread in more than one place inside the village, preventing the entry and exit of anyone.
The army also prevented press crews from entering the village, forcing many of them to take detours.

Notification and petition
The demolition came days after a final notification was delivered to the family of Abu Sajid - who is detained in the occupation prisons - confirming the demolition of his house, after the Israeli Supreme Court rejected the petition submitted by Israeli human rights organizations, "HaMoked" and "B'Tselem", to prevent the demolition of the house and other homes that the occupation accuses of participating in.

Jaradat confirmed that Abu Sajid's house is one of 6 threatened with demolition, 3 of which belong to him and his children, against the background of the operation.
He explained that he and his cousins from the Jaradat family had received notices of demolishing their homes, and that the occupation army actually took their measurements, "and it seems that it decided to demolish one house after another, but we cleared all the houses of the furniture and moved to other houses."
The decision to demolish Abu Sajid's house and other homes was issued last week by the Israeli court, after more than a month of notification, as the occupation is still detaining at least 8 citizens, including "Umm Montaser", in connection with the operation. They were presented to the Israeli court last week. .
