Bethlehem – Saba:
Palestinian sources reported on Tuesday that an elderly Palestinian man died of a heart attack after witnessing the demolition of his relative's home in the village of Wadi Fukin, west of Bethlehem, in the southern occupied West Bank.
Israeli occupation forces demolished two homes and assaulted two residents in the same village.
Mohammad Manasra, the owner of one of the demolished homes, told Safa News Agency that Israeli enemy forces demolished his 265-square-meter home and another 150-square-meter home in the area, owned by Issam Manasra, on the pretext of lacking a permit.
He stated that village residents gathered at his home before the arrival of the occupation forces in an attempt to prevent the demolition. However, Israeli enemy forces attacked the family and villagers to disperse them, resulting in five residents being injured and suffering fractures.
He added that an elderly relative of his had suffered a heart attack and died while watching the demolition and assault on residents.
