On Monday, Israeli authorities were reportedly endorsed a demolition order for the home of Palestinian prisoner, Nathmi Abubaker, 48, from the Y’abad village, south-west of Jenin City, in the West Bank.
The official Palestinian News Agency, WAFA, reported that Israeli occupation authorities jailed Abubaker after they had accused him of causing the death of an Israeli soldier, by throwing a stone on the soldier’s head, during an Israeli invasion of the village on May12.
The accusation by Israeli authorities was totally denied by Abubaker, during a military trial, held later on, WAFA said.
In June 11, Israeli troops were reportedly invaded Ya’bad village again and an engineering staff, within the invading force, made some measurements for and around the home of Abubaker.
Since early this year, Israeli troops have already demolished four homes of four Palestinian prisoners, in the central West Bank cities of Ramallah, Jenin and Albeira.
The four prisoners were identified as Ahmad Qonbo’ of Jenin, Waleed Hanasha, Yazzan Maghames and Qassam Albarghouthi of Ramallah and Albeira.
Israeli policy of demolition of Palestinian homes has been in place for many decades, now. The homes demolition is viewed by international law as a form of collective punishment that should come to an end.
Noteworthy, no single case of home demolition for an Israeli, indicted of murdering or harming a Palestinian, has been reported, over the past several decades.

Israeli occupation authorities embarked today on the construction of 164 housing units in the illegal settlement of Neve Daniel, illegally built on Palestinians' land near the city of Bethlehem, south of the occupied West Bank, local sources said.
Hasan Burejiya, director of the office of the Segregation Wall and Colonization Resistance Commission in Bethlehem, told WAFA that the new units will be built on lands belonging to Palestinian citizens from the nearby villages of Nahalin and al-Khader.
He said Israeli authorities have been making use of the ongoing coronavirus lockdown to illegally size more land and build more housing units in the illegal settlements.
Israeli settlement activities in occupied Palestine are illegal in international law, and have been the subject of condemnations by the world countries over the past years.
The international community considers the establishment of Israeli settlements in the Israeli-occupied territories illegal on one of two bases: that they are in violation of Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, or that they are in breach of international declarations.
The United Nations Security Council, the United Nations General Assembly, the International Committee of the Red Cross, the International Court of Justice and the High Contracting Parties to the Convention have all affirmed that the Fourth Geneva Convention applies to Israeli settlements.

Israeli settlers torched this morning fields planted with olive trees in the town of Huwarra, south of the northern West Bank city of Nablus, according to Ghassan Daghlas, a local activist.
He said settlers from the illegal settlement of Yitzhar set fire to dozens of olive trees, causing extensive damage to this vital tree, whose crops are a main source of income to thousands of Palestinian families.
Daghlas, who monitors settlers and settlement activities in the north of the West Bank, said there was recently a surge in settlers' attacks against Palestinian civilians and property in the Nablus area, and in their efforts to grab as much Palestinian land as possible to expand their settlements including the recent setting up of mobile homes on Palestinian-owned land in the town of Assira al-Shamaliya, north of Nablus.
