Troops enter Shuafat to raze home of teen stabber — reports

Palestinian news sites report that large numbers of Israeli forces are in the Shuafat refugee camp north of Jerusalem where they are carrying out demolition work on the family home of a teen boy charged in the fatal stabbing of a border guard earlier this year.

Videos show a large phalanx of troops entering the camp on foot at dawn and surrounding a building, allegedly the home of Muhammad Zalbani,14, who stabbed Border Police officer Staff Sgt. Asil Sawaed, 22 as he inspected a bus at the Shuafat crossing in February.

Palestinians say troops have cordoned off the area as they prepare to raze the home, or render it unusable.

There is no immediate comment from Israel’s military of police, who normally only announce such operations after the fact.
