And the Israeli government has also ordered the military to stop demolishing the family homes of Palestinian suicide bombers. According to the Israeli human rights group B’tselem, the Israeli military had destroyed over 670 homes for this reason over the past four years. Israel made the decision after the government concluded the demolitions were fueling resistance to the Israeli occupation. Overall B’tselem estimated Israel has destroyed up to 5,000 Palestinian homes over the past four years, the majority during military operations.
