Israeli Forces Demolish Palestinian Homes and Injure Journalist in Ramallah Raid.

Israeli forces demolished the family home of a Palestinian prisoner in Ramallah, West Bank, despite the fact that he has not yet been tried. The practice of demolishing the homes of Palestinians "suspected of carrying out attacks" on Israelis is a long-held practice of Israel, which human rights groups say is a policy of "collective punishment" that may amount to war crimes. The Faroukh family tried to appeal the demolition order to Israel's High Court of Justice, seeking to have their homes sealed rather than destroyed, but to no avail.
