| Israel demolishes home of Palestinian suspect in Jerusalem attacks | |
| 2023-06-09 | |
| [An Nahar]The Israeli army said on Thursday that it demolished the West Bank home of a Paleostinian involved in twin bombings in Jerusalem that killed two and maimed at least 18 others in November. Israeli authorities arrested Islam Faroukh
The army released video footage showing troops closing off the area and carrying out small controlled explosions, destroying an apartment in the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah early on Tuesday. The army said people threw rocks and fire bombs at troops, who returned fire. The Paleostinian Health Ministry reported one Paleostinian was moderately maimed by Israeli gunfire and treated at a local hospital. Israel demolishes the homes of attackers in an attempt to deter others, a tactic critics say amounts to collective punishment. The attack in November came after months of relentless violence in the West Bank, where the Israeli military has been conducting near-nightly raids in response to Paleostinian attacks against Israelis. | |
