Hebron Community Leader Condemns Demolition of Nearby Synagogue

Jerusalem, 7 March, 2016 (TPS) -- IDF and police forces demolished the Chazon David synagogue in Kiryat Arba and arrived with tractors and heavy equipment to carry out the task.

Baruch Marzel, prominent resident of nearby Hebron, harshly criticized the demolition of the synagogue.

“Netanyahu and Ya’alon once again prove that they are heroes at the expense of Jews,” Marzel charged.  “They show zero enforcement against illegal construction by Arabs and repeatedly destroy a synagogue erected in memory of murdered victims.”

“Instead of dealing with terrorism, the commander of the Hebron Brigade commander confronts Jews and creates friction,” added Marzel.

Marzel also criticized Minister Naftali Bennett, chairman of the Jewish Home Party regarding the incident. “Let’s not forget Naftali Bennett, who is sitting on seat of a Minister and prefers to watch as a spectator from the sidelines,” said Marzel.

Jewish-Israeli construction in Judea and Samaria is often demolished by the IDF and Israeli security forces when built without official approval by the Israeli government.
