Israel will demolish the home of Palestinian Arab terrorist Mohammed al-Jabari, who seven weeks ago shot and killed in cold blood a 50-year-old father, Ronen Hanania, and wounded his son Daniel.

A Magen David Adom paramedic who came to assist the victims at the attack site near Hebron was also wounded in the attack.

Arabs in the “Palestinian” areas handed out candy in celebration of the attack and lionised al-Jabari, a 35-year-old father of three who was shot dead, thus ending the attack, as one of their many shaheeds (martyrs).

The Arabic website Al Mayadeen reported the decision as follows: “The Israeli occupation forces announced their intentions to demolish Palestinian martyr Muhammad al-Jabari’s home in Al-Khalil in the occupied West Bank.”

The IDF has frequently been ordered to demolish the homes of terrorists as a punitive measure. Combat Engineering Corps personnel use armoured bulldozers and excavators, and sometimes explosive charges, to carry out the job.

Needless to say, so-called human rights groups – who seldom come out in condemnation of Arab killers – are full-throated in their condemnation of these demolitions as “war crimes”.

Israel is poised to install a new Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir (of the Jewish Strength Party), who wants to see the government crack down even harder on terrorists. While many on the political left demonise him, multitudes of younger Jews who are sick and tired of the endless terror against Israelis enthusiastically support Ben-Gvir’s approach.
