HCJ 967/16, 968/16 - Harub, Halil et al. v. Commander of IDF Forces in the West Bank Judgment

Rejection of two petitions submitted by HaMoked against the military's intention to demolish the home of the suspect in a shooting attack in the Panorama building in Tel Aviv, and the suspect in a shooting attack in the Gush Etzion junction. The Court rules that there is no cause to limit the extent of the demolition, and that the purpose of it is deterrence, and not punishment. Relating to HaMoked's complaints regarding soldiers entering the Hrob family home in the middle of the night, the judges ruled that this should not have happened. Regarding the potential damage to the neighboring apartments, the judges noted that "the utmost care must of course be taken, and in any event, should any damage be caused, the door to severance payments is not shut".
