Israeli forces bulldozed the home of Aasem Barghouti in the village of Kobar near Ramallah early Thursday. Barghouti was arrested earlier this year for carrying out the deadly shooting attacks last December.
Israel arrested more than 100 Palestinians in the manhunt after the attacks and killed Barghouti’s brother in one of its arrest raids.
Israel often demolishes Palestinian attackers’ homes as a policy aimed at deterring future attacks.
The military also struck Hamas targets in Gaza on Thursday in response to projectiles and explosives that were deployed against southern Israel.
In an earlier report, Gaza’s Health Ministry said a 15-year-old Palestinian died from Israeli gunfire in overnight border skirmishes.
big deal! It used to work back 20 years ago, but now the PA just gives the family extra money to get a new place.
Instead of destroying the building; destroy the family! How? Send them to Africa and don’t give them a way to return. They raised a terrorist, they are proud of some one who enjoys killing us; let us get back at them by kicking them out of the country.
