Israeli forces demolish homes of Palestinians after attacks

ISRAELI occupation forces flattened the family homes of three dead Palestinians yesterday in revenge for an attack which killed a policewoman.

Four bulldozers, escorted by more than 60 Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) jeeps, stormed the occupied West Bank village of Qabatiya, south of Jenin.

They demolished the homes of Ahmad Zakarnah, Ahamd Abu al-Rub and Muhammad Kameel.
