Eviction and demolition
Troops raided Abu Rab’s house in the Jabal al-Damouni area before detonating it, following prior notice to the family regarding confiscation and demolition orders. Earlier this month, 'Israeli' authorities reissued the order to seize and close the property, warning the family of the planned demolition.
