Israel Razes Home of 16-Year-old Suicide Bomber

HeadlineNov 02, 2004

In the West Bank city of Nablus, Israeli troops have destroyed the home of the teenage Palestinian suicide bomber a day after he carried out an attack that killed three Israelis in Tel Aviv. Meanwhile the mother of the 16-year-old Amer al-Fahr, criticized those who sent her son to death. She said, “It’s immoral to send someone so young. They should have sent an adult who understood the meaning of his deeds.” Amer al-Fahr is one of the youngest suicide bombers to attack Israel during the intifada. Overnight undercover Israeli forces killed three Palestinian members of the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades.
