Al-Ram: Israeli occupation forces have demolished the home of Mohammad Shihab, a Palestinian youth, in the town of al-Ram, located north of occupied Jerusalem. The Jerusalem Governorate reported that these forces entered al-Ram from the al-Barid neighborhood before surrounding and destroying the two-story residence of Shihab earlier today.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency – WAFA, the occupation forces compelled families living nearby to vacate their homes. The Jerusalem Education Directorate responded by delaying school start times in al-Ram until 9:00 a.m. This measure was taken due to the ongoing military presence in the town, which began last night.
The raid on Shihab’s family home follows an incident in July when Israeli forces measured the property in preparation for its demolition. Shihab, 27, was fatally shot by Israeli police after allegedly committing a car-ramming attack near the city of Ramla, within territories occupied since 1948. He succumbed to his injuries shortly thereafte
