IDF destroys house of Al Aksa man
2007-04-12
IDF troops destroyed the house of an Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades fugitive in Nablus on Wednesday afternoon. Palestinian news agency, Ma'an, identified the man as Abed A-Za'akot, adding that it was the seventh time the family home had been destroyed. Ma'an quoted Za'akot's brother as saying: "My brother has been wanted for four years but every time the army surrounds the home and calls on everyone to get out - he is not there."

A woman was shot in the hand and a 16-year-old boy was hit by a rubber bullet as IDF soldiers shot at rioting Palestinians who had gathered at the scene of the operation, according to Palestinian medical sources. Eyewitnesses said that IDF troops were using dogs during the operation.

#6  it was the seventh time the family home had been destroyed

How many of those seven homes were paid for by UN or Euro funding? You'd think crapulence like this would inspire a little donor fatigue.

Oh, the humiliation!

#3  ...If they really HAVE lost their home seven times (and I'm afraid I'm not quiet credulous enough to believe that on the first blush)it says something for their smarts that while THEY lost their home, HE'S sleeping somewhere that has peace, quiet, and four walls.

Good. International seething may not be forthcoming anymore. Double good.
