i'd say this is a good tactic by palestinians in refusing to be evicted from their homes and wonder how long till more of them do similar things. its against international law to ethnically clean the land you conquered as the zionists are and have been doing. now there are some palestinans that have had enough;

A Palestinian family in the occupied East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah faced off against Israeli police on Monday morning, as Israeli forces attempted to forcibly remove them from their home.

Social media was flooded on Monday morning with photos of members of the Salhiya family standing on top of their roof with a gas canister, as armed Israeli forces attempted to remove them from their home.

Dozens of Israeli police officers stormed the Salhiya family home and ordered the family to leave. Israeli police and the Jerusalem municipality said in a joint statement that its officers went to carry out the operation after the Salhiya family “ignored countless opportunities to vacate the land as ordered.”

The Salhiya family is one of several Palestinian families in Sheikh Jarrah that Israel is seeking to forcibly displace in order to replace them with Jewish settlers.

Local media reported that a number of the young men in the family barricaded themselves on the roof of the home in an effort to stop the removal. Several news outlets quoted Mahmoud Salhiya as saying that he would set himself on fire and blow the house with the gas tank if the eviction was carried out..........read and watch more.....
