Mother of Shaludi speaks after home demolished

The mother of Abd al-Rahman al-Shaludi, who killed two Israelis after driving into civilians in Jerusalem last month, spoke following the demolition of her home by Israeli forces.

"The Israeli occupation wants to break up our family and displace us. They think that by demolishing the houses of martyrs they will deter the people of Jerusalem and Palestine, but violence begets violence," she told Ma'an news agency.

"I don't know what to do and where we will live in the coming days," she said, while sitting on a couch in an apartment next to her demolished home.

The family has temporarily moved to her husband's brother's home.
