The IOF soldiers misappropriated whatever family funds that had come in their way, estimated at some 2,600 shekels, and refused to hand the family any document corroborating the misappropriation, the family said.

The family said though the assault has not been the first of its kind, as the IOF soldiers have stormed the house over the past few years for over 15 times, it has nevertheless been the most brutal and caused unprecedented damage.

The raid fell in line with a decision issued by the Israeli Salem court afternoon Monday ruling for the adjournment of a court hearing to look into the set of indictments filed against Abu Oun on charges of affiliation with Hamas.
