Defense Minister Ehud Barak has turned to Attorney General Menachem Mazuz, seeking the green light to order the destruction of the home of the Jerusalem terrorist responsible for Wednesday’s bulldozer attack that claimed the lives of 3 women, leaving over 70 injured.

The defense minister stated he is certain that destroying the home of terrorists will serve as a major deterrent to future attacks.

Yesha Council officials are calling on authorities to also raze the Jerusalem home of the family of the Merkaz HaRav Yeshiva terrorist who murdered eight students in the March 2008 attack.
