    tl;dr:

    Nablus, occupied West Bank - Rubble, destroyed window frames, remnants of a couch shrouded in dust and debris - that is all that was left of the 130sq-metre home of the al-Jouri family. The destroyed apartment on the second floor of a residential building was once home to five people: mother Tamara, father Hani, and their three children: Kamal, now 23, Mohammed, 22 and Usaid, 16. Kamal, who the army claimed was a member of the Lion’s Den, a small armed group, was arrested in February and Israeli forces demolished the second suspect’s home earlier this month, in a continuation of Israel’s collective punishment policy that destroys that homes of accused individuals, making their families homeless. On the night the home was demolished, he had just stepped out to grab a bite to eat at his mother’s house nearby when he heard that the Israeli army was in his home. With little else they could do, Palestinian youth threw stones at the invading forces, trying in vain to deter them from destroying yet another home.
