Israeli occupation forces raided a residential building housing the Othman family in the village of al-Jaroushiya north of Tulkarm early Tuesday morning, according to Shehab Wire. Soldiers forced residents to evacuate the structure before taking control of it and converting it into a military barracks.
The raid represented an escalation of military operations in al-Jaroushiya, which lies in the northern West Bank. The seizure of civilian homes for military use has become a recurring tactic in the occupation's enforcement actions across Palestinian territories.
