Israeli occupation forces early Monday demolished the homes of three Palestinian martyrs in the village of Qabatiya south of the West Bank city of Jenin.

Official from the Palestine Liberation Organization Ali Zakarnah said the occupation forces, backed by 4 bulldozers and more than 60 Israeli army jeeps, stormed the village and demolished the homes of three Palestinian martyrs who were accused of killing an Israeli police officer and wounding others at the beginning of February.

He added five Palestinians were injured by Israeli live and rubber bulletins after clashes broke out afterward between local youths and the forces, noting that the injured were transferred to the Jenin Public Hospital.

Meanwhile, the Popular Committee against the Wall and Settlements said in a statement that the occupation forces stormed the Khellat Ain al Hammam area in Surif town, north west of Hebron and demolished a Palestinian home under the pretext it was built without a permit.
