Israel Resumes Destroying Palestinian Homes; Thousands Attend Funeral for Jerusalem Victims 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The Israeli government has resumed destroying the homes of Palestinians
accused of involvement in recent attacks on Israelis. On Wednesday,
Israeli forces demolished a home in occupied East Jerusalem belonging to
the extended family of a driver who ran his car into two pedestrians
last month. The Israeli human rights group B'Tselem says the home
demolitions are "illegal and immoral." The move came as part of a new
crackdown vowed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following
the killing of five Israelis in a Jerusalem synagogue. Thousands of
people attended the victims' funerals in Jerusalem on Wednesday.
