Israeli occupation forces (IOF) took measurements of the house of the Qassam Brigades Commander Jaafar Dababseh in the town of Badhan, northeast of occupied Nablus, early this morning, in preparation for its demolition, the Palestinian Information Centre reported.

Soldiers stormed the house and took measurements after wreaking havoc to its contents.

Dababseh was killed last Tuesday by occupation forces in the village of Wadi Badhan in Nablus.

Israel routinely demolishes the homes of Palestinians it claims are responsible for resistance operations against its illegal occupation. This, rights groups have warned, amounts to collective punishment which is illegal under international law.
