Nablus, September 8th

On the Saturday the 8th of September the Israeli army invaded the home of the Abu Shhab family in Nablus. Twenty soldiers and four vehicles arrived at the house at 15:00 and threw all the inhabitants outside.

When humanitarian and medical workers arrived they were not allowed in the vicinity of the house. An army jeep repeatedly rammed the ambulance when it arrived on the scene. A soldier was heard to say; “do you want me to shoot you” as a humanitarian worker attempted to see what the situation of the family was.

The Israeli army left at 18:00 taking a taxi with them, and leaving the house they had occupied with six broken framed pictures and two broken doors, but without finding anything of significance.
