HCJ 8024/14, 8025/14 - Hijazi, al-Akri et al. v. GOC Home Front Command Judgment

Judgment in HaMoked's two petitions against the military's intention to seal and demolish the family homes of the suspected shooter of right wing activist Yehuda Glick and the assailant in the ramming attack at the Jerusalem light-rail station. The court rejects the petition in the ramming case and approves the demolition, noting that this attack was particularly severe and there is no room to intervene in the decision. In the other petition, the court rules that the results of the were less severe and issues an order nisi instructing the state to justify its decision. The court notes that the fact that Glick survived and is recuperating, is significant in determining the legality of the demolition.
