Israeli court suspends expulsions

House demolitions and expulsion orders are part of Israel's increasing efforts to stop attacks on its citizens by targeting assailants' families.

Two buildings were destroyed early yesterday in the town of Dahariya and the village of Doha, both in the southern West Bank. And a military court on Monday ordered the expulsion of three relatives of a suicide bomber and a man who gave an explosives belt to a bomber. But yesterday the three appealed to the Supreme Court, which blocked the expulsions for 15 days.
