Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper on Sunday reported that Israel’s war minister Avigdor Lieberman is seeking to expand the scope of sanctions imposed on the Palestinians involved in anti-Israel attacks.
The paper explained that Lieberman wants to examine the possibility to expand the demolition policy targeting the homes of the Palestinians who carry out fatal attacks to include the homes of those who carry out attacks in which Israelis are injured.
According to the Hebrew newspaper Lieberman said “There is no difference between an attack that ends in murder and one that ends in a serious injury” adding “Homes of terrorists must be destroyed in both cases.”
The Israeli occupation forces have demolished dozens of Palestinian houses in the recent months as part of a punitive policy pursued against the Palestinians involved in attacks that lead to killing or injuring Israeli settlers or soldiers.
