IDF and Border Guard forces destroyed the house of terrorist Abd al-Fatah Kharusha, who carried out the February 26 shooting attack in the village of Huwara, in which the brothers Sergeant Hillel Menachem Yaniv and Yigal Yaakov Yaniv were murdered, in the Askar refugee camp in Nablus. Arik Dvir tries to dance at both weddings. Did he succeed? • Watch During the activity, a number of violent disturbances developed, including stone-throwing, burning tires, throwing explosives and shooting at the fighters - who responded with means to disperse the demonstrations, and there were no casualties among our forces. Parents Esti and Shalom Yaniv wrote a special letter to the fighters who destroyed the terrorist's house: "Dear Yahalom fighters, almost six months ago, a criminal murdered our two precious sons, current and future IDF fighters, in a criminal terrorist incident. Hillel and Weigel were murdered because they were Jews. Only because they were Jews living in the Land of Israel. We are not in exile - in the Land of Israel, the Jewish people have risen up and are standing up for their destiny - fighting back a hair's breadth from their enemies. You were chosen to restore the honor of our sons. The honor of Israel. Our national pride. In the demolition of the house, our children will not return. The pain of longing will not subside. What is missing will not diminish. But in the demolition of the house, we will know that there is justice and there is a judge. And most of all, the scoundrels who rise up against us will know that they will pay a heavy price for their criminal actions, they will come at their own expense. And the entire environment will know that anyone who raises a hand against a Jew in the Land of Israel - his hand will be cut off, his house will be destroyed. And he is worthy of death. There is punishment here. There is deterrence here. And from our perspective, revenge too. A desire to return measure for measure as part of the statement - "We are here forever and ever!" We will never leave the Land of Israel. We returned in order to make this land and this country flourish. We returned to Shechem in order to make a renewed covenant between all the tribes. A covenant of love and commitment and a covenant between Him and our Father in heaven. You are honored today to be the long and implementing arm of restoring Israel's pride. 'To vengeance, to vengeance, the Judge of the land appeared, who brought vengeance on the proud.' With immense gratitude, Esti and Shalom, Rachel Tzur and Kama Yaniv - on behalf of the extended families and in the name of Hillel and Vaygel.".
