Israeli security forces sealed off Palestinian militant’s father’s house today who killed seven people outside a synagogue in East Jerusalem on Friday night.

A 21-year-old Palestinian was shot dead by police after being attacked on International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

He opened fire on people as they left the synagogue after prayer. It was one of the deadliest attacks in Jerusalem in recent years.

The attacker’s home is located in East Jerusalem’s A-Tur neighborhood, which is mostly Arab.

More than 40 people believed to be connected to the attacker, including relatives and neighbors, were arrested by the Israeli authorities and interrogated.

Israel’s security cabinet on Saturday night announced measures that, among other things, deprive “terrorist families” of their rights following two attacks in East Jerusalem, one of which was against a synagogue.

At an emergency meeting last Saturday night after the attacks, the council decided, among other things, to cut welfare, welfare and health insurance payments to families so that “the terrorists and those who support them pay,” according to the official. statement.

The text reported on the removal of these rights from “families of terrorists who support terrorism” and the forthcoming introduction of a bill to abolish the “Israeli identity cards” that members of this category of families may possess. How exactly it will be verified if the family “supports” “terrorism” is not explained.

At the start of his close-knit cabinet, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his government’s response to the Palestinian attacks of the past two days would be “strong” and “immediate.”
