Al-Qassam Website - Israeli occupation authorities have taken the decision to knock down the family home of Palestinian martyr Khaled Sabbah, who was killed at the hands of Israeli occupation forces after he carried out a heroic shooting operation on June 20.

The heroic operation that resulted in the deaths of four Israeli colonial settlers came after Israeli occupation forces had launched a wide-range aggression against the occupied West Bank city of Jenin, killing five Palestinians and injuring dozens others, some critically.

Destroying the homes of Palestinians believed to be involved in operations against the Israeli occupation has been a well-established strategy by the occupation authorities for a significant period of time.

This policy of collective punishment against Palestinian families amounts to war crimes, human rights groups say.
