High Court approves demolition of terrorist’s home in Petah Tikva stabbing

The High Court of Justice approves the demolition of the home of the suspected terrorist who allegedly stabbed and murdered Rabbi Shai Ohayon in Petah Tikva in August.

Khalil Abd al-Khaliq Dweikat’s home is in the village of Rujeib, near Nablus.

The court says in its two-to-one decision that it seeks to deter other potential terrorists from carrying out attacks.

“We did not find a justification to intervene in the decision of the military commander [in charge of the area].”
