Israeli minister calls for housing demolitions

Israel's finance minister has called for the houses of the synagogue attackers to be demolished today.

“We must take tougher measures, including those we have not taken before,” said Finance Minister Yair Lapid, according to The Times of Israel.

“The houses of these terrorists must be demolished tonight, and the terrorists that set out to commit terror attacks must know that they will not return to them alive. We will spare nothing, we will act with a heavy hand in Jerusalem, we will not allow this to continue.”

At least nine people have been detained by Israeli police since this morning's attack that killed at least four Israelis.
