The IDF, Border Police and Civil Administration of Judea and Samaria demolished the homes of the three Palestinians overnight, who conducted a joint shooting and stabbing attack on Border Policemen stationed at Jerusalem’s Damascus Gate, on February 3, 2016. The homes were located in Qabatiya, which is located in northern Samaria near the Palestinian city of Jenin.
The February 3 attack resulted in the death of border policewoman, Hadar Cohen. Last night’s demolition of the homes in Qabatiya offered at least some consolation for Cohen’s father.
“We will continue on the path of our Hadar,” said Cohen’s father according to the police spokesperson’s unit. “I have no doubt that we will beat terror.”

Governor of the Bank of Israel Karnit Flug presented the Bank’s 2015 annual report to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday morning, April 3.
“I would like to say that as a whole, the economy is in reasonable condition, considering the tough global environment,” said Flug. “The labor market is in a good situation in general, unemployment is low, wages have increased, and this allows us to focus on what is more important like the long term and the next budget.”
Netanyahu thanked Flug and commented that he was “glad to hear we are at a historical low in unemployment, causing the wages to rise. This is important, but we need to also increase the economic growth.”
“This is why we started historic negotiations about a free-trade agreement with China, which will significantly increase the export,” added Netanyahu. “We are also discussing a preferential trade agreement with Japan.”

Meir Ettinger, a Jewish far-right activist who has been under administrative detention for the last seven months, will not attend his son’s ‘Brit Milah’, a Jewish ceremony in which eight-day old male babies are circumcised.
The Beer Sheva District Court rejected Ettinger’s petition to receive a short vacation to attend the ceremony, due to take place on Monday, April 4. The court explained its decision by stating that it considers Ettinger to be dangerous.
Ettinger is considered a leader among ‘hilltop youth’, right-wing activists in Judea and Samaria, and is being held in solitary confinement without presented evidence against him.

The Israeli soldier who was filmed shooting an already-injured Palestinian attacker in Hebron will be tried for manslaughter, the military prosecutor Lt. Col. Adoram Rigler said today in court during a remand hearing. The military had previously said that the soldier would be tried for murder, but the charge has apparently been downgraded.
“Evidence has solidified over the past two days,” the prosecutor said, asking the court to extend remand for seven days.
The autopsy of the terrorist’s body will be conducted by an Israeli pathologist in the presence of a Palestinian pathologist chosen by the deceased’s family.
