Israeli police and army forces have demolished sereval residential homes at the Malachei Hashalom stronghold at an abandoned military base in Samaria, including the community synagogue.
The stronghold was constructed in memory of terror victims Malachi Rosenfeld and Shuli Har-Melech who were murdered nearby.
“We were horrified by the destruction order by the IDF at a time of daily and hourly terror attacks,” said residents of the stronghold. “Why are IDF soldiers forced to destroy a synagogue and homes built in memory of terror victims? The place will be rebuilt and we call on the government to come to their senses, strengthen the communities in Judea and Samaria and not hurt them.”
