RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Hebron, 20 February 2022. al-Atrash family put a tent next to the rubble of their house, which was demolished by the Israeli authorities 52 days ago, in the West Bank city of Hebron. 0.1 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Maher al-Atrash: the owner of the destroyed house. STORYLINE: Videos of Israeli forces demolishing the Atrash family home, as Marwa and her mother screamed and fought with soldiers, went viral on Palestinian social media on Tuesday. A clip of a distraught Marwa comforting her 13-year-old step-son as he cried watching the soldiers has been shared tens of thousands of times. In the video, a distraught Marwa can be seen wiping away the boy's tears, saying: "Don't be upset, we will build another [house], even better than this one." After three years of construction, the family had been putting their final touches to the house, and were close to moving in. In recent weeks, the family had been slowly taking their belongings into the house, in the hope they'd be able to move in in the new year. "They didn't even give us a warning, or a chance to take out all our belongings from the house," Maher said. "They just destroyed it all." The Israeli forces who demolished the Atrash family home said it had been built without a permit issued by the Israeli Civil Administration, which controls Palestinian construction in more than 60 percent of the West Bank.
