[FormerOstrich]

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - The Israeli army on Wednesday destroyed the West Bank home of one of two Palestinian suicide bombers a day after 16 people were killed in back-to-back bus bombings by the militant Hamas group, the military said.

The action came hours after Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon ordered the army to hunt down Palestinian militants.

BOMBER'S HOME BLOWN UP

On Wednesday morning, soldiers blew up the first floor of a two-storey home where one of the bombers lived in the West Bank city of Hebron, witnesses said.

The family of the second bomber was told to move out their belongings, apparently in preparation for it to be destroyed as well, they added.

The Israeli army confirmed the home had been destroyed. A spokeswoman said the routine response to suicide bombings was a message "that anyone who is party to terrorism will pay a price."

2. This is SICK

:puke:

This is total bullshit.

What gives the IDF the right to force an entire family out of their home in retaliation to what one member of the family does.

Consider, what if the family of someone who committed a murder was forced to watch their home blown up by the state in retaliation to their family member's deed.

And the freaking Israelis wonder "why do they hate us?"...
