July 3, 2004
This house belonged to
Bassam Abu Akkar, an Islamic Jihad activist, from Bethlehem. Akkar was
arrested on the 1st of June, and his house was blown up on June 25th. The
explosion also completely demolished two adjacent apartments in the
building. One cannot distinguish between the target apartment and the other
two -- all were demolished to the same degree. Three extended families are
homeless.
In the path of the
“isolation wall” (the term used by Palestinians when referring to the wall),
one house demolished, and villagers praying on land that will be soon
confiscated and destroyed.
