Israeli army bulldozers demolished the family homes of two Palestinian suicide bombers this morning.
In the town of Abu Dis on the outskirts of East Jerusalem, the army demolished the homes of two Palestinian youths who blew themselves up in rapid succession in central Jerusalem last December, killing 11 people.
Israel says such demolitions are intended to deter further attacks in the two-year-old uprising against Israeli occupation.
The demolitions came a day after an Israeli policeman was killed in the first Palestinian suicide bombing in six weeks.
Elsewhere, Palestinian hospital officials said a 10-year-old boy had been found dead with a chest wound in the West Bank town of al-Bireh after witnesses reported Israeli army gunfire in the area. The army did not comment.
Israeli soldiers also shot dead a Palestinian yesterday, saying they suspected him of planning an attack.
