Israeli troops blew up the home of a Palestinian accused of assisting in the killing of four Israelis near a settlement in the occupied West Bank in June, witnesses told AFP.
Basil Shehadeh was arrested on suspicion of helping two other Palestinians carry out the deadly shooting at a petrol station near Eli settlement in the northern West Bank.
Troops stormed the village of Orif overnight and surrounded Basil Shehadeh’s house, witnesses said.
“The family were evacuated from the three-storey building, then the second floor of the building was blown up,” village council secretary Adel al-Amer told AFP.
