Israeli occupation forces detonated the house of Ibrahim Daoud, a Palestinian prisoner, in the West Bank village of Beita, the Ma'an news agency reported. The demolition marked another instance of home destruction targeting families of detainees held by Israel.
Daoud's status as a jailed activist and the circumstances surrounding the demolition were not immediately detailed. Such house demolitions have long been a contentious practice in Israeli-Palestinian disputes, with Palestinian rights groups and international observers characterizing them as collective punishment.
