Home of Bedouin Israeli killer of soldier demolished over illegal construction

The family home of a Bedouin Israeli man who stabbed an IDF soldier to death in 2017 has been demolished by the state — not as a punitive measure to deter terrorist attacks, but rather since it was built illegally in southern Israel, Channel 12 reports.

The TV report says the razing was carried out by a Finance Ministry unit, which oversees illegal construction.

Khaled Abu Jaudah, from an unrecognized village in southern Israel, has been convicted of fatally stabbing Ron Kokia, a sergeant in the IDF’s Nahal Infantry Brigade, as he waited at a bus stop in Arad on November 30, 2017.
