General view of east Jerusalem

Israel on Tuesday demolished at least one house belonging to a Palestinian who has attacked Israelis, witnesses said, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged an iron fist against mounting unrest.

An AFP journalist saw the gutted inside of a house in east Jerusalem that witnesses said was the former residence of Ghassan Abu Jamal. Armed with meat cleavers and a pistol, Abu Jamal and his cousin Uday Abu Jamal killed four rabbis and a policeman before being shot dead in November 2014.
