Early this morning the IDF destroyed the Hebron area West Bank homes of the murderers of the three Jewish teens who were abducted and killed in June.
Unsuccessful petitions seeking to prevent the state from carrying out the demolitions preceded the IDF action. Special forces of the IDF's Engineering Corps destroyed the homes, including that of Husam al-Kawasme the 'mastermind' behind the kidnapping and murder of Gil-Ad Shaer, Eyal Yifrah and Naftali Fraenkel.
The three yeshiva students who were kidnapped late at night from a hitchhiking point in the Gush Etzion area of the West Bank, were found dead over two weeks later on June 30 not far from where they were abducted. The IDF said in a statement that the destruction of homes sends a severe message meant to deter terrorists and their helpers.

Ahead of the midnight expiration of a five-day ceasefire, Israel sent out clear messages that it will respond massively to any type of fire from Gaza.
If no agreement is made, an Israeli official said, there are two possibilities. The first is that no cease-fire extension or agreement is reached by Monday at midnight, and Hamas renews its firing. “If that happens,” he said, “Israel’s response will be strong.”
The other possibility is that the cease-fire lapses, but the firing does not resume, in which case the official said efforts would continue to find a longer-term arrangement.

The Defense Ministry halted train services between Sderot and Ashkelon on Sunday night ahead of the conclusion of the 5-day ceasefire.
The train line in question runs close to the border with the Gaza Strip. Due to the suspension of train lines, the Transportation Ministry said that bus operations between the two cities would be increased in the meantime.
In addition, the ministry said special shuttles will be operating to transport the hundreds of Sapir College students to their studies in Sderot.

A few hundred protesters demonstrated for and against the wedding of an Arab man and a Jewish-born convert to Islam in Rishon Lezion on Sunday night.
The couple, Mahmoud Mansour and Morel Malka, met five years ago. Mahmoud is a Muslim Arab whose family is from Jaffa and Morel was born Jewish but recently converted to Islam.
Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court ruled on Sunday that the group could protest the event, but at a location 200 meters from the wedding hall. Central District police said that they detained six protesters, however none of the counter-protesters supporting the wedding were detained. More from The Jerusalem Post: http://www.jpost.com
