RNA - Locals said Israeli soldiers raided Khalid al-Shahatit’s home and forced out his family, and the troops also hung an Israeli flag outside of the building, Ma'an reported.

Israeli troops informed the owner that they would occupy the house for a while.

Israeli forces used Palestinian homes as temporary military outposts in a number of instances in 2016.

Although the common factor in each of the cases was the proximity of the Palestinian homes to illegal Israeli settlements, Khursa is not located near either settlements nor military bases, according to the Applied Research Institute - Jerusalem (ARIJ).
