"Israel's Punitive Demolitions: 13-Year-Old Palestinian Attacker's Family Faces Home Loss"

The family home of a 13-year-old Palestinian boy who attempted to stab an Israeli police officer is set to be demolished by the Israeli government as part of its controversial practice of punitive demolitions. The family's appeal was dismissed by Israel's Supreme Court, and demolition crews have arrived to inform them that the explosion will take place within days. Rights groups argue that such demolitions are collective punishment and leave innocent family members homeless. The practice has drawn condemnation from Western governments and the United Nations, with some officials expressing concern that it may actually fuel further violence. The Israeli government, however, defends the practice as a deterrent against attacks.
