Israeli forces seal off family home of slain Palestinian

Israeli forces welded shut the entrance to the home of slain Palestinian, Walid Sabarna, with a sheet of iron in the town of Beit Ummar, north of Hebron, and prevented his family from entering the property on Saturday night, the Wafa news agency reported.

Sabarna was one of two Palestinians who were shot and killed on Tuesday evening near the Gush Etzion illegal settlement south of Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank, following what Israel said was “a ramming and stabbing attack” that left one Israeli dead and three others wounded.

Earlier, Israeli soldiers had caused material damage to the house and assaulted family members after interrogating them, the report said.
