Israeli forces demolish home of Palestinian who used car to kill two Bullet holes at Kehilat Bnei Torah, the synagogue that was the site of the attack Jerusalem: As Israelis and Palestinians grappled with the new-old reality of spiralling violence, Israeli security forces revived a controversial anti-terrorism policy, demolishing the East Jerusalem home of a Palestinian man who drove his car into pedestrians in October, killing a baby and a young woman. Israel's resurrection of the harsh tactic it all but abandoned a decade ago followed Tuesday's brutal synagogue killing of four ultra-Orthodox men in mid-prayer, an attack that put the nation on edge. Jewish mothers publicly demanded security guards posted outside schools, the defence minister rescinded plans to relax roadblocks in the occupied West Bank, and the mayor of Ashkelon barred Arab workers from construction projects at his city's kindergartens. "I'm being a bit more cautious - I am not riding my bike on the main roads, in case somebody gets an idea," Pery Harma, a father of three young children, said as he stopped with them at a juice kiosk along a West Jerusalem bicycle path. Maybe things have to get bad before they get better. Maybe these events will remind the majority how necessary it is to reach a compromise. Israeli police officers carry the coffin of police officer Zidan Saif. Palestinians, too, were worried, about the possibility of revenge attacks, about security forces under pressure being overzealous and about a crackdown that included new checkpoints blocking off some of their East Jerusalem neighbourhoods. As sporadic clashes between youths and troops erupted, Palestinian bus drivers skipped work for the third day running to protest the death of a colleague found hanged on Sunday night in what Israeli authorities say was a suicide but his family says was a lynching. Visiting a new Jerusalem command post, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel vowed, "We will restore security to Jerusalem." "This morning we demolished the home of a terrorist - this is a significant and important step, and there will be more home demolitions, there will be many more steps," Mr Netanyahu said. The demolished apartment of Abdel Rahman al-Shaludi. Palestinian leaders blamed Mr Netanyahu's policies for the attacks that have killed 11 people over the past month and promised that the new measures would backfire. "Netanyahu confirms every day that their solutions are not political, that [they] will lead to calm, but their solutions are escalatory, which will lead to more blood," General Adnan Damiri, a security spokesman, said on Voice of Palestine radio. They will be responsible for the blood of all people. Israeli news sites reported on Wednesday evening that a border police officer arrested last week would face manslaughter charges in the May killing of a Palestinian 17-year-old at a West Bank protest. A court order that had restricted information about the case was partially lifted, the reports said, to reveal a forensic report showing that traces of the teenager's blood were found on the fatal bullet and that it had been fired from the officer's rifle. Israeli authorities had insisted that troops had not used live ammunition. At Kehilat Bnei Torah, the synagogue in the Har Nof neighbourhood of West Jerusalem that was the site of Tuesday's attack, worshippers - including some weeping survivors - returned for morning prayers under heavy security. Later, Muslim, Christian and Jewish clerics held a solidarity session outside. Many ultra-Orthodox Jews were among thousands who attended the Wednesday afternoon funeral of a Druze police officer who died of wounds suffered in the gunbattle at the synagogue that killed the two Palestinian assailants, cousins from East Jerusalem. Israel's president, Reuven Rivlin, eulogised the 30-year-old traffic officer, Zidan Saif, as a hero, saying, "He arrived first, and stood up to the terrorist without fear, and sacrificed himself to protect the citizens of Jerusalem." The day began with the pre-dawn demolition in the Silwan neighbourhood, outside the Old City, where Abdel Rahman al-Shaludi lived before he drove his car into a crowd of pedestrians last month. He was shot dead as he tried to flee the scene. Israeli police hustled out members of the extended Shaludi family, and they watched from across the street, as security forces knocked down walls, smashed windows and doors, and even tore up the tile floors. "This will stop nothing," said an uncle, Amer al-Shaludi. The cycles will go on and on. The Shaludis' was the first of six houses connected to recent attackers that Israel has officially moved to destroy, according to B'Tselem, an Israeli group that tracks the issue. After halting the widespread practice in 2005, when a commission found that it rarely worked as a deterrent and instead inflamed hostility, Israel this northern summer also sealed or destroyed the homes of four Palestinians who had killed Jews, having previously done the same to two in 2009. Mr Netanyahu's spokesman, Mark Regev, noted that demolitions were carried out through a legal process - families have 48 hours to object to the military's order and another 48 to appeal to Israel's high court. He said demolitions were a necessary deterrent to offset "a culture of support within Palestinian society," citing a report showing that the Palestinian Authority paid families of what it calls martyrs nearly $7 million in 2011. Local imam Sheikh Mussa Odey predicted that violence would worsen, and he said the seeds of the religious war were sown long ago. "We have grown to hate each other," he said. Asked if the demolition would serve as a deterrent to other Palestinians who consider attacking Israelis, he said no. How many houses have the Israelis knocked down? Has this prevented a single thing?" he asked. All it does, the imam said, "is make the people more angry."
