JENIN, July 17, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces (IOF) blew up three houses in the town of Qabatiya, south of Jenin, on Thursday.

WAFA correspondent reported that the IOF blew up the homes of the families of slain youths Wael Idris Lahlouh, Mohammad Nazzal, and Mohammad Zakarneh.

It is worth noting that the IOF assassinated Wael Idris on December 1, 2024, by bombing an agricultural room where he was staying in the town of Seir, south of Jenin. They assassinated Mohammad Nazzal on January 22, 2025, after besieging him in a house in the town of Burqin, west of Jenin, and shelling it with shoulder-fired missiles.

The IOF then assassinated Mohammad Zakarneh after besieging him in an underground iron room near the village of Masiliya, south of Jenin.

Israeli occupation forces stormed the town of Qabatiya at dawn today with a large number of military vehicles and bulldozers.

They raided several homes, forced their residents to leave, and transformed the homes into military barracks. Israeli soldiers also detained and abused several young men.

Two brothers were detained after their homes were raided and vandalized, and a young man was severely beaten.

It is worth noting that the occupation authorities had notified the three families of the demolition of their homes on June 20.

The Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission documented the demolition of 588 structures by the occupation authorities in the first half of this year, affecting 843 citizens, including 411 children.
