Israeli forces demolish house of killed Palestinian man in Qalqilya

The Israeli military has demolished a house in occupied West Bank city of Qalqilya, which belongs to the family of Ali Khalil, a Palestinian man who was killed along with eight others in Israeli drone attacks in the occupied West Bank last year, Al Quds news is reporting.

According to The Times of Israel, the Israeli military accuses Khalil of shooting and killing an Israeli civilian in Qalqilya in June of last year.

Israeli authorities regularly demolish family homes of Palestinians accused of carrying out attacks on Israeli citizens in what rights groups call a policy of “collective punishment” that may amount to war crimes.
