And while the victims' families bury their dead, Israeli security forces arrested in East Jerusalem, several relatives of the alleged perpetrators.


Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has also ordered the demolition of the houses of two assailants in east Jerusalem. The destruction of Palestinian homes is a practice that is, according to the Israeli authorities to discourage candidates attacks.
