Thursday 20 Nov 2014 - 09:24 Makkah mean time-27-1-1436  Bethlehem (IINA) – The families of three Palestinians, who are suspected of carrying out the recent attacks in Jerusalem, received notices that their homes will be demolished on Wednesday, Ma'an news agency reported.
The families of Ibrahim al-Akkari and Muhammad Jaabis – both of whom ran over Israeli pedestrians – as well as Mutaz Hijazi, who shot and injured the Jewish extremist Yehuda Glick, all received demolition notices.
A Ma'an reporter said, citing the Jaabis family, that they will appeal the demolition decision although the Israeli occupation authorities signaled earlier in November that the homes of any Palestinian who attacked Israelis would be demolished.
The news came only hours after the home of Abd al-Rahman al-Shaludi in Silwan was demolished by Israeli authorities as punishment for ramming his vehicle into a crowd of settlers, killing two of them in late October.
"The Israeli occupation wants to break up our family and displace us. They think that by demolishing the houses of martyrs they will deter the people of Jerusalem and Palestine, but violence begets violence," his mother told Ma'an earlier on Wednesday.
Rights watchdogs have widely criticized the Israeli policy of home demolition, saying that it contributes to a cycle of violence and merely inflicts collective punishment on family members.
