HCJ 8024/14 - Hijazi et al. v. GOC Home Front Command Petition for Order Nisi and Interim Order
HaMoked's petition against the military's intention to seize and demolish the family home of the suspected shooter of right-wing activist Yehuda Glick. HaMoked asserts that punitive house demolition – or sealing – is nothing but unacceptable and prohibited collective punishment, contrary to international law and Israel's basic legal principle that a person must not be punished for another person's actions. The main sufferers from this cruel policy are the occupants of the demolished houses and not the alleged offenders, who, in most cases, have already been imprisoned or killed.
