Israeli occupation forces demolished on Tuesday the homes of two Palestinians said to have taken part in separate attacks against Zionists.

The overnight demolitions west of al-Khalil (Hebron) targeted the homes of two men said to be behind November 19 knife and car-ramming attacks in Tel Aviv and at a junction in the occupied West Bank.

Mohammed al-Harub is accused of opening fire at a junction near Israeli settlements in the West Bank then ramming his car into a group of pedestrians.

The same day, Raid Masalmeh reportedly stabbed two Israelis to death at an office building and car park in Tel Aviv.

Human rights criticize to demolition of Palestinian houses, saying that the measure amounts to collective punishment, with the suspects' families forced to suffer for others' alleged acts.

The occupied territories have been, since October 1, rocked by a wave of operations against Zionists in retaliation of the Israeli repressive measures against the Palestinians across the West Bank and especially in al-Quds.

Zionist settlers backed by occupation forces have been repeatedly storming the holy al-Aqsa Mosque, sparking Palestinian anger.

However the occupation forces have been brutally attacking the Palestinians under the pretext of staging stabbing attacks.

The Palestinian operations since the start of October have killed 27 Israelis, while the Israeli occupation forces killed 176 Palestinians.
