Police say hundreds of cops, troops sent into Shuafat camp for home demolition

Police confirm sending hundreds of cops, Border Police troops and IDF soldiers into the Shuafat refugee camp near Jerusalem to raze the home of Muhammad Zalbani over a fatal stabbing attack in February.

In a statement, police say Jerusalem police chief Doron Turgeman signed off on the operation this week, after an appeal against the action was rejected by a court in August.

No clashes are reported in the refugee camp, which has seen unrest in the past surrounding Israeli police operations.
