June 11, 2003 - Israeli troops bulldozed flat the house of a wheelchair bound Palestinian citizen in the pre-1948 town of Al-Lydd, now the Israeli mixed town of Lod. Backed by an Israeli helicopter gunship and over 200 Israeli policemen, two Israeli bulldozers demolished the 40 square meter house of the 23-year-old Hany Zbeidah, a computer engineer, according to a human rights activist at the scene. Zbeidah was forcibly removed from his house, as it was demolished with the contents inside. - Islam Online

 This family in Tulkarm no longer has access to their 2,000 remaining olive trees (visible in the background) that lie on the other side of the fence. They once possessed 5,000 trees until the Israeli government destroyed 3,000 to clear land for the 150-foot wide area for the fence, Israeli military roads, trenches, and razor wire. This family now must buy olive oil while olives rot on their trees.
