[AnNahar] Israeli authorities have demolished three homes and sealed off a fourth of Paleostinians who carried out attacks that killed a soldier and a policewoman, the army said on Thursday. Israel regularly carries out such demolitions, which it says act as a deterrent, but human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... groups and Paleostinians say they punish families for the actions of relatives. Two houses were demolished in Deir Abu Mashaal, near Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, and a third was sealed off, an army spokeswoman said. Village mayor Emad Zahran told AFP Israeli soldiers entered the area around 2:00 am (2300 GMT Wednesday) with bulldozers. On June 16, three villagers carried out an attack outside Jerusalem's Old City that killed a policewoman. According to police, two of the assailants shot up a group of officers who returned fire, and a third stabbed the border policewoman a short distance away before being shot. All three attackers were killed. A home in the West Bank town of Silwad was also demolished in response to an April 6 car-ramming attack near the Jewish settlement of Ofra that killed an Israeli soldier. | |
