Israeli forces have stormed the West Bank refugee camp of Jenin and delivered a military demolition order against the house of a Palestinian man killed by the regime’s troops.

According to local sources, the Israeli forces raided Jenin at dawn Wednesday and put up a demolition notice on the door of an apartment belonging to a Palestinian youth, identified as Ra’ad Fathi Hazem, the Palestinian Information Center reported.

The young Palestinian was accused of shooting three Israelis dead and injuring several others earlier this month.

The order gave Hazem’s family one week to file a petition against the measure.

The 28-year-old Hazem, a resident of the Jenin refugee camp, was killed by Israeli forces in a pre-dawn firefight near a mosque on the first Friday of the holy fasting month of Ramadan.

Palestinian resistance groups have hailed the “heroic operation” as a “natural and legitimate response to the escalation of the occupation’s crimes.”

At least two people are killed and eight others are injured during a shooting attack in the heart of Tel Aviv.

The Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah has also lauded the shooting attack in Tel Aviv, saying the Palestinian operation once again brought to the fore the fragility and weakness of the occupying regime.

The occupying regime has since the start of Ramadan scaled up its crackdown on Palestinians who gather for Iftar, a meal served at the end of the fasting day during the holy month. Israel has also deployed a large number of its forces to disperse the worshipers. The violence, repeated on a daily basis, has led to fierce clashes between Israelis and Palestinians across the occupied territories.

Health officials said on Wednesday that Israeli forces have shot and killed a young Palestinian man in Jenin, as the military carries out wide-ranging arrest campaigns across the West Bank.
