Israel to build settleemnt on Palestinian trucker’s house site

Israel is planning to build a new illegal settlement in the occupied al-Quds ('Jerusalem') and on the site of the home of the Palestinian man involved in a deadly truck attack against Israeli troops.

The regime in Tel Aviv has already ordered the demolition of Fadi al-Qanbar’s home in the Jabel Mukaber neighborhood of southern al-Quds.

The so-called 'Municipality of Jerusalem' now aims to build 2,500 settler units on the remains of the soon-to-be-destroyed house and a large surrounding area, Israel’s Hebrew-language Channel 10 television network reported on Wednesday.

The plan will leave the family of the slain 28-year-old Palestinian man homeless under Israel’s policy of home demolitions, which has been widely denounced as an act of collective punishment and illegal under international law.
