The Israeli army demolished the home of a Palestinian allegedly behind a deadly attack in August last year.

Footage shows officials knocking down the home of the Palestinian detainee Qassam Barghouti who is being held in Israel on charges of taking part in the deadly blast.

Barghouti's mother said: "Of course, what happened was that more than 20 of the occupation vehicles came to demolish the house, along with bulldozers! As you can see the house was completely destroyed, the top floor and the ground floor were destroyed."

This footage was filmed on May 11.

Despite the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic and international calls on Israel to stop demolition of Palestinians homes in the occupied territories, Israeli soldiers nevertheless raided early this morning the Ramallah-area village of Kobar and demolished the family home of a Palestinian detainee, according to witnesses.

They told WAFA that a large army force raided the village and proceeded to the area where the home of Qassam Barghouti, who is detained in Israel on charges of taking part in the alleged killing of an Israeli last year, where an army bulldozer demolished the top floor of the two-story building of the Barghouti family and destroyed trees around it.

Residents clashed with the soldiers during the raid and pelted them with stones, who responded by firing rubber bullets and teargas at the youths, hitting one in the face with a teargas canister, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent.

My message, no matter how strong and arrogant the Israeli occupation is, and no matter how terrified the people are with tear gas, Israeli bombs and bulldozers, but our Palestinian people will remain strong and strong like my father, Qassam.
