The owner told LRC:
“I have been living at this house for more than 7 years and never received a notice , early this year I repaired the house and put new windows and doors in order to protect my children from the winter’s cold . we depend on water harvesting for domestic use , and on an electric generator to light up the house. I was shocked this morning when the occupation forces raided our home and terrorized my children , they confiscated and sabotaged my properties , and threatened if I ever repair it again they will demolish it.”
Noteworthy, Khirbet Al-Faraseen is a hot spot for Israeli violations, last May the occupation authorities distributed 18 notices at the community that affected 64 people, and in August the occupation implemented a mass demolition operation at the area.
