Israeli soldiers surrounded Khalil Jabarin’s home in the southern West Bank village of Yatta early Friday. His apartment was destroyed with explosives after the family cleared out.
Jabarin, 17, was accused of killing the U.S.-born settler activist Ari Fuld at a mall near a West Bank settlement in September. Footage showed Fuld firing at his attacker before collapsing.
The military says dozens of Palestinians protesting the demolition hurled rocks toward the forces, who responded with “riot dispersal means,” which usually refers to rubber-tipped bullets and tear gas.
While Israel claims home demolitions serve as a deterrent to potential attackers, critics say the tactic amounts to collective punishment that inflames hostility.
U Kno what would be better? To give that home and the whole village in Judea/Samaria to Jews rather than destroy property
Thought this had happened already.
Only Hashem poured his wrath on sticks and stones. The IDF should pour its Wrath on the terrorists themselves.
Get a load of that house. Doesn’t look that this kid suffered in poverty. This isn’t pouring out wrath on sticks and stones. It’s hoped that others will think twice, at least about their own families, before they attack Israelis.
