Israeli soldiers on Sunday stormed the house of a 70-year old man called Younis Assi in Silwan district of occupied Jerusalem at the pretext of searching for a weapon and terrorized him and his family.
Assi reported that Israeli troops broke into his house in Al-A'awar neighborhood all of a sudden and locked him up along with his elderly wife in one of the rooms before embarking on ransacking the house.
He added that the troops turned everything in his house upside down and took him afterwards to the Maskobiyeh police center for interrogation.
The elderly man said Israeli officers interrogated him for hours and later released him after he was forced to pay 5,000 shekels and sign a bail order of another 10,000 shekels.
In a separate incident, Israeli municipal employees escorted by policemen handed out on the same day demolition notices against seven Palestinian homes in Silwan district at the pretext of unlicensed construction.
