IDF troops on Saturday demolished the home of one of two Paleostinian bully boyz who carried out a shooting attack in Jerusalem earlier this month that killed six people, the military said.
Overnight, the IDF said, troops operated in the West Bank town of Qubeiba, near Ramallah, and razed the house of Muthanna Amro, 20.
Amro carried out the attack at Jerusalem’s Ramot Junction on September 6, along with Mohammad Taha, 21, from the nearby town of Qatanna.
The military intends to demolish Taha’s home as well, and has already surveyed it and sealed it shut in the interim.
Qubeiba mayor Nafiz Hamouda said the military had notified residents 10 days earlier of its intention to demolish the property.
"Last night they came, and at dawn today the house was blown up," he said.
The blast also caused significant damage to four or five neighboring houses, Hamouda said.
The Paleostinian Authority’s official news agency, Wafa, reported that a large military force entered the town, surrounded the house and evacuated nearby residents before detonating the building.
As a matter of policy, Israel demolishes the homes of Paleostinians accused of carrying out deadly terror attacks. Israeli officials have said the policy is intended to dissuade Paleostinians from planning terror attacks, as doing so will harm their extended families’ livelihood. Critics have called it collective punishment.
"Collective punishment is prohibited under both Israeli law and international humanitarian law. Such actions are war crimes," Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) wrote to Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara after the military sealed the two terrorists’ homes prior to their demolition. "We ask you to instruct the Defense Ministry and the army to immediately cease committing war crimes."
The Attorney General’s Office declined to comment on the letter.
Violence has surged in the West Bank since the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about
oppressionand
disproportionate response...
war began with the Hamas
..a regional Iranian catspaw,...-led October 7, 2023, attacks in southern Israel. According to the Paleostinian Authority health ministry, nearly 1,000 West Bank Paleostinians have been killed in that time.
The IDF says the vast majority of them were button men killed in exchanges of fire, rioters who clashed with troops, or bully boyz carrying out attacks.
During the same period, 61 people, including Israeli security personnel, have been killed in terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank. Another eight members of the security forces were killed in festivities with terror operatives in the West Bank.
