’Israel’ Razes Home of Palestinian Teen

Local Editor

The "Israeli" apartheid entity's army destroyed on Saturday the West Bank home of a Palestinian teenager whom it accused of killing an "Israeli" settler earlier this year, a military spokesman said.

The demolition took place in Yatta, which is also the hometown of the two Palestinians who killed four "Israelis" in the heroic Tel Aviv operation on Wednesday.

The "Israeli" forces arrested 15-year-old Palestinian suspect Murad Ideis in a raid on his family home days after the attack.

The "Israeli" regime regularly demolishes the homes of Palestinians whom it alleges were part pf operations against "Israeli" settlers in what it described as "a deterrent". Rights groups said it amounts to collective punishment, with families forced to suffer for the acts of relatives.

The "Israeli" apartheid army said Saturday's demolition was carried out without incident, adding that it had also made preparations for the destruction of the homes of both of the Tel Aviv gunmen.

That operation, which also wounded five other settlers, prompted a range of measures from the "Israeli" regime, including a decision to temporarily bar entry for all Palestinians.

"Israeli" violence since October had martyred at least 207 Palestinians.

Others were martyred in clashes with security forces or by "Israeli" air strikes in the Gaza Strip.

The "Israeli" regime's forces had imposed a shoot-to-kill policy as "Israeli" settlers were urged to carry their guns.
