Palestinians donate to rebuild homes destroyed by Israel

Palestinians in West Bank have started a donation campaign to rebuild the house of the Palestinian youth Mohanad Al-Halabi near Ramallah after it was destroyed by Israeli occupation forces last Saturday, Anadolu reported yesterday.

The campaign placed a box for the donations in the Yasser Arafat roundabout, the main roundabout in central Ramallah.

Spokesman of the campaign Abdul Karim Abu Arqoub said that the donations reached $38,000 on the first day.

Abu Arqoub said the campaign also received in-kind donations from craftsmen and companies.

“The campaign has a message which reflects that the Palestinian people are facing the Israeli occupation together,” Abu Arqoub told Anadolu.

Israeli police killed Al-Halabi, 19, on 3 October 2014, claiming he had stabbed two Israeli settlers to death and wounded another.

Last Saturday, Israeli bulldozers demolished Al-Halabi’s family home.
