Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit rules that the home of a Palestinian terrorist won’t be demolished because the gunman’s father and brother handed him in to the Shin Bet security agency, Channel 2 reports.

Hebron resident Shadi Ahmad Matua, aged 28 and married with two children, is accused of killing Rabbi Yaakov Litman, 40, and his 18-year-old son Netanel, in a shooting attack in November in the West Bank.

The attorney general’s decision serves to encourage the families of Palestinian terrorists to turn in their relatives to the Israeli authorities, the TV report says.
