On October 22, 2015, HaMoked filed an objection to the
punitive demolition order issued against a housing unit in Nablus where resides the family of one of men suspected of involvement in the attack on October 1, 2015, in which the Henkin couple had been killed. The family’s apartment is in a four-storey semi-detached building.
Given the fact that the young man is not accused of participating in the shooting attack itself, but only of membership in a conspiracy, HaMoked, in the objection, demanded a copy of the existing investigation material against him. HaMoked also asked for the detailed demolition plan, especially in view of the fact that the targeted apartment is part of a large apartment complex, in which dozens of people reside. Demolition the apartment of the suspect’s family, would not only leave his family members – who have done no wrong – without a home, but might also cause severe damage to the apartments of the neighboring families – and thus turn many innocent people into victims of collective punishment.
HaMoked announced that it intends to petition the High Court of Justice, if the objection is rejected.
