Israel’s Supreme Court rejects the judicial appeal of “HaMoked: Center for the Defence of the Individual” and authorizes the home demolition of the terrorist who murdered Rabbi Miki Mark.

Right wing NGO Im Tirtzu praised the decision.

“Im Tirtzu welcomes the Supreme Court’s decision to authorize the home demolition of the terrorist who murdered Rabbi Miki Mark. This decision sends a clear message to European governments, which fund radical Israeli NGOs to submit appeals to Israel’s Supreme Court aimed at damaging the IDF’s deterrent capabilities,” Im Tirtzu CEO, Matan Peleg, said in a statement.

Mark was killed on July 1 in a drive-by shooting. He was traveling on Route 60 with his family, close to the Otniel settlement where they lived. Mark’s wife, Hava, was seriously injured and two of his children were wounded in the shooting attack.
