IOF raid homes, tighten 5th day siege on Yatta

Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) on Monday dawn have broke into and raided Palestinian homes in Yatta town, southern West Bank, and tightened the siege that has been imposed on the town since Thursday overnight.

The siege on Yatta followed the Tel Aviv shooting which was carried by two youths from the town, killing four Israelis and injuring several others.

The army closed the town entrances with sand hills, and even blockaded roads between several neighborhoods, just one day after the soldiers opened them.

In addition, IOF carried wide raids and interrogated Palestinians,  especially in Roq’a area, Zeev and Susiya junctions.

IMEMC reported that Rateb Jabour, the media coordinator of the Popular and National Committee in Hebron, said the soldiers caused excessive property damage to some of the invaded homes, including those belonging to Mazen Yousef Jabour, Mohammad Khaled Issa Jabour and Ali Ismael Aqel.

The soldiers deliberately caused damage to windows, doors and furniture in the invaded homes, Jabour added.
