Israeli occupation forces on Tuesday blew up house of a Palestinian martyr in Askar refugee camp east of Nablus city.
Secretary of the mainstream Palestinian group, Fatah, Nohammad Hamdan, said in a statement to KUNA that a large force of the occupation troops burst into the shanty town and sealed off the house of Abdulfattah Khroushe before blowing it up.
Simultaneously, the Israeli forces engaged in clashes with Palestinian activists who resisted the occupation troops with stones.
Palestinian Red Crescent Society said in a statement that its medics treated one Palestinian who was wounded with live bullets and three others who were hit with rubber-coated bullets. It added that 100 others had to be treated after suffering from suffocation caused by tear gas hurled by the occupation forces.
A spokesman of the occupation army said in a statement that Khroushe's house was blown up because he had carried out a gunfire attack in Hawwara south of Nablus in February, killing two settlers.
The occupation authorities often demolish activists' houses as part of a mass punitive policy against the Palestinian resistance.
