One family reported damage to the roof of their home as heavy Israeli military equipment and several personnel arrived on top of the building, causing a minor collapse. The area, where Israeli officials recently declared 22 homes would be demolished so a tourist center could be established, has been the site of recent clashes, which residents say were sparked by aggressive behavior of settlers who have moved into Palestinian family homes and the Israeli guards protecting them. ca Links to the latest articles in this section Occupation forces injure mourners following funeral of slain infant Mohammad Tamimi Nabi Saleh village assaulted - toddler shot in the head died in hospital Palestinians in the snow: thrown from home into the snow, throw snowballs and get arrested
