HEBRON, February 14, 2017 (WAFA) – A Palestinian family Tuesday accused Israeli soldiers of torching its home in Deir Razih, a village southwest of Hebron.
Jihad Hajjeh told WAFA in a telephone call that soldiers threw flammable material inside the house when his wife and children had left it.
“When my wife returned home few minutes later she saw it on fire and the soldiers were standing next to it,” he said.
Hajjeh said they found yellow material on the floor, which he believes was the material the soldiers threw inside the house to set it on fire.
He said hundreds of Israeli soldiers were in the area conducting military drills.
Hajjeh said he and his three sons were detained a month ago after soldiers took over his house for three days.
The house is located close to a main road and about 300 meters from a settlement outpost and a military camp.
