(Ynet News) Telem Yahav - The Israel Supreme Court on Thursday rejected petitions against the decision to demolish the homes of five Palestinians who participated in terror attacks. The only petition that was accepted regarded a terrorist who lived in a rented apartment. The justices ruled that there was not enough of a connection between him and the family who lives in the home. Chief Justice Miriam Naor wrote in her opinion that, "as determined in the ruling, the purpose of the regulation is as a deterrent, not a punishment. This purpose has been recognized as proper. Demolishing homes is a harsh and serious step, mainly because it can hurt relatives of the terrorist who sometimes did not aid him and did not know of his plans." However, "sometimes there is no alternative to using it. Such are the cases in the decrees before us, which deal with cruel terror attacks in which Israeli citizens were murdered in cold blood. The evidence presented to us made me satisfied that destroying homes of terrorists' families creates deterrence among terrorists." 2015-11-13 00:00:00Full Article
