The HCJ approves the 20th demolition order in 2016: the justices determined that although the youth did not participate in the attack itself, he must “be regarded as someone who operated in the inner circle” and approved the sealing of his room
The HCJ approves the 20th demolition order in 2016: the justices determined that although the youth did not participate in the attack itself, he must “be regarded as someone who operated in the inner circle” and approved the sealing of his room
On November 1, 2016, the High Court of Justice (HCJ) dismissed
HaMoked’s petition against a punitive demolition order issued for a room in Khirbet Raka’a in Hebron District, in which lived a young man implicated in an attack against Israelis in Tel Aviv on June 8, 2016. The
justices rejected HaMoked’s argument that the youth’s involvement in the attack did not justify using Regulation 119, and determined that he was a “full and significant partner” and that he must be "regarded as someone who operated in the inner circle and minimally, very close to the inner circle”.
The justices also ruled that the order was proportionate given that it targeted only the room where the youth had lived and as the military decided – following HaMoked’s objection – to seal the room with concrete rather than demolish it.
Under the court’s decision, the temporary order issued in the petition will expire seven days from the date of the judgment.
