THE Israeli occupying forces prepped the family home of a Palestinian resistance fighter for demolition on Sunday.

This comes a day after he killed an Israeli security guard in an attack in central Tel Aviv.

The resistance fighter, identified by police as Kamel Abu Bakr, was shot at the scene and died later in hospital after he killed security guard Chen Amir. 

Two Israeli settlers were arrested on suspicion of killing a Palestinian man in the West Bank on Friday night. 

Palestinian officials said that armed settlers entered the West Bank village of Burqa and killed 19-year-old Qusai Matan.

Israeli media reported that one of the suspects in the incident, Elisha Yered, was a former aide to an ultra-nationalist lawmaker in the Jewish Power party, one of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s key coalition partners.

The Israeli military said that troops measured the home of the Palestinian attacker ahead of its demolition in the village of Rumana, near the restive West Bank city of Jenin.

Israel says that home demolitions are meant to deter future attackers, but critics say they amount to collective punishment against the families of assailants and only exacerbate tensions with Palestinians.
