TEL AVIV was accused of war crimes today after Israeli occupying forces forcibly removed the Salhiya family from their East Jerusalem home before destroying it.

Screams and cries for help were heard from inside the home as Israeli police erected a barrier around the property in the Sheikh Jarrah district.

Yasmin Salhiya said that Israeli soldiers beat her nine-year-old sister and her aunt, who is unable to move due to her injuries.
