Israeli forces demolish home of bus bombing suspect in West Bank

Israeli forces forced residents of 13 neighbouring buildings to evacuate as they prepared to demolish the home of Abdul Karim Sanoubar in the occupied West Bank.

Sanoubar, a Palestinian prisoner, carried out a bombing on an Israeli bus last February. The military carried out the demolition early on Tuesday, targeting the house of his family, local sources reported.

The operation displaced residents temporarily and came amid Israel’s broader policy of punitive home demolitions in the occupied West Bank, a practice widely criticised by human rights groups as collective punishment.
