(Reuters) Iran will pay thousands of dollars to families of Palestinians killed in a wave of anti-Israeli violence, or whose homes have been demolished by Israel, Tehran's ambassador to Lebanon said on Wednesday. "The decision firstly includes giving an amount worth $7,000 to every family of a martyr of the intifada in Jerusalem," Amb. Mohammad Fathali said. Iran would also offer $30,000 to every family whose home was demolished due to the participation of one of its sons. The Israel Foreign Ministry said the announcement "demonstrates again Iran's role in encouraging terror."
