Security forces seal home of terrorist who carried out deadly Jerusalem attack - The Times of Israel

The Israel Police said Sunday that it had sealed off the home of the terrorist who killed seven and injured three in a terror attack Friday in East Jerusalem’s Neve Yaakov neighborhood.

In general, the demolition process takes several months, as the home needs to be mapped out, the High Court must address appeals by the family, and security forces often wait an optimal time to enter Palestinian cities or neighborhoods for the operation.

Netanyahu said that in response to the attacks, and subsequent celebrations in Palestinian cities, officials decided on steps to “strengthen settlements” in the coming week, without providing further details.

Mourners attend the funeral of couple Eli Mizrahi and his wife, Natali, victims of a terror attack Friday in Jerusalem, at a cemetery in Beit Shemesh, January 29, 2023.

Additional soldiers and police will be deployed, and security forces will embark on a series of operations to gather intelligence, confiscate illegal firearms and carry out arrests, Netanyahu said.

Also attending the security cabinet meeting was Shas leader Aryeh Deri, who has been disqualified as a minister due to his multiple past criminal convictions but was invited by Netanyahu to take part as an observer.
