The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Monday decided to demolish the family home of the slain Palestinian Muhammad al-Ja’bari who carried out a shooting attack near the Kiryat Arba illegal settlement last October.

The decision came after an Israeli court refused an appeal submitted by the family against the demolition order.

The five-story house is home to al-Ja’bari’s children parents and siblings.

Israel routinely demolishes the homes of slain or captured Palestinians who are suspected of carrying out anti-occupation attacks saying it serves as a deterrent against future attackers. However rights groups affirm the practice amounts to collective punishment.

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Wednesday decided to demolish the family home of the slain Palestinian Uday al-Tamimi who carried out Shuafat and Ma’ale Adumim shooting attacks last month.

Uday al-Tamimi shot and killed an Israeli occupation soldier and seriously wounded others on October 8 at a checkpoint near the Shuafat refugee camp in Occupied Jerusalem.

Tamimi was killed while attempting to carry out another anti-occupation attack at a checkpoint near the entrance of the illegal settlement of Ma’aleh Adumim on October 19.
