Anas Burqan told LRC reporter:

“About 6:00 am, The occupation troops barbarically broke into my house, and attacked my family with batons  and rifles , many of my family members  were taken to Al-Makassed hospital, where it turned out that they suffered from bruises and broken bones.

Then they arrested some of the neighbors who showed up in order to help us take out our properties. We were forced to leave fast, and in a blink of an eye they completely demolished my house and my brother’s.”
