 Palestinian violence, we'll take a closer look at his agenda. Israel is grappling with the aftermath of Friday night's shooting attack at a synagogue in Jerusalem's Nevei Yakov neighborhood that left seven killed, the highest death toll for a single terror incident here in a dozen years. This week's upsurge in violence also saw two Israelis wounded by a 13-year-old Palestinian teen near the Silwan quarter outside Jerusalem's old city, and an attempt by a non-Palestinian to penetrate the West Bank settlement of Kedomim before being shot dead. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's new government moved quickly to seal the family homes of the attackers, boost security forces in and around Jerusalem, and vow to advance tough new measures against Palestinian terror. Defense correspondent Jonathan Reghev has more on this report. It is no longer just a concern, the violent escalation is here. The two shooting attacks in Jerusalem on Friday evening and Saturday morning were followed by an attempted infiltration to the West Bank settlement of Kedomim where the assailant was shot and killed. Israel's security cabinet met in urgent session and announced steps to deal with the rising violence. Yesterday, the cabinet approved a series of measures to fight terrorism. With one hand, we increased the deployment and activity of the security forces, and with the other hand, we extract a price from the perpetrators of terrorism and their supporters. This morning, we sealed off the home of the terrorist who carried out the attack in Jerusalem, and later his house will be demolished. We decided to deny rights and national insurance from families who support terrorism. Early Sunday morning, in accordance with that decision, the home of the terrorist who killed seven Israelis on Friday evening was sealed in preparation for its demolition. Security forces are now reinforced, and the cabinet announced it is working to deny certain benefits, such as social security payments to families of terrorists. It's a burning issue when those terrorists come from East Jerusalem making them Israeli residents. All that will hopefully deter the next potential terrorist, but there is clear understanding that more violence may be coming up and the security forces by themselves will not be enough. We are expanding and speeding up the licensing of weapons to thousands of Israeli citizens. This also includes rescue services. For example, the Zaka Rescue Service has 3,000 mobile volunteers throughout the country, only a tiny handful of whom are armed. Imagine that they and others would be armed. This of course would significantly increase the ability to respond. The far-right ministers, Itamar Ben-Gvir and Betales Motrich, ask for tougher collective punishment, but so far these measures are not supported by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Joav Galant. The next few days will tell if the measures that they do support will bring tensions down. And joining us for more is Simcha Rothman, a member of Israeli Parliament for the Religious Zionism Party, and Chair of the Knesset's Constitution, Law and Justice Committee, speaking to us from Jerusalem. And Simcha, this new government came in vowing to get tough on terror. What is it going to do after this worst terror attack in terms of fatalities in a dozen years? What do you think or what you also, what your party think it should do? I think that you need to address terror with addressing the motive for terror. Not like maybe the common thinking is that terror comes from despair. Terror comes from people who doesn't have better options. We know that's not the case. We know that people that are involved in terror usually are not coming from poverty. They're not coming from people without options. Some of them are highly esteemed member of their community. They get support from the community and get support from the families and get support from the Palestinian Authority. And they get paid by the Palestinian Authority. The more people they are killing, they get more money. So this has to stop at the source. And the State of Israel already started in this procedure in the first time in, I don't know how many years, just last week, my head of party, with a smothered sign, an approval of taking away from the money that the Palestinian Authority has. We have withheld money from the Palestinian Authority and we transfer it to terror victims based on the money that they paid to pay salaries to the terrorists. You need to take down the hope of the Palestinians that are involved in terror, that their terror attacks will bring some good outcomes for them, for the families. And you have to make sure that everyone who is involved in terror does not benefit from the terror. So the key ingredient in this issue is to stop what it's called pay for slave, to stop the ability of the Palestinian Authority to pay for the people that kill us. And that's what this government started and we need to do it way more. Right. Other measures being proposed, death penalty for terrorists, revoking citizenship even of members of families. But we've seen, many of these terrorists go on suicide missions. We've seen how demolitions for years, family homes. So with these extra measures, would they actually be a deterrence? So we know for a fact that the people that are involved, some people either themselves or the families that knew that their houses might be demolished, were informing on their family members that we're going to make attacks. And many, many lives were saved by the house demolitions of the house, what we see in the pictures, when we try and deter people from being involved or support terrorist attacks. So it's effective and it saves many, many lives. Of course, it's not a 100% solution and there is no 100% solution. But it definitely deters and prevents other terror attacks. And we also need to make sure that other measures for many, many years, the state of Israel, try to implement. We are now in the Knesset. There is a bill that I signed on, that I proposed, that 106 Knesset members support that make sure that anyone who gets money, salary from the Palestinian Authority for the terror attacks that he had, that he made, will be, his Israeli citizenship will be taken from him and he will be sent to live in the Palestinian Authority. If he's getting money from the Palestinian Authority, if he's on the payroll of the Palestinian Authority for killing Israelis, for killing Jews, innocent Jews, he should not be a citizen of the state of Israel. He should go and be, even after he is released from prison, he should go and be in Ramallah or in other parts of Gaza, in other parts of the Palestinian Authority. I'm not in our way. I just want to ask you, some of these measures you're discussing could end up in the courts. You've been a proponent of these judicial reforms. Do you see a linkage between the judicial reforms and some of the measures you are proposing or the approach to terror? Of course, many, many measures that the state of Israel tried to implement against terror were either stopped or deemed unaffected by the Supreme Court. Now, I'm not talking about illegal acts. I'm talking about issues and measures that many, for many, many years, the Supreme Court in Israel approved. In other countries, measures like this are approved and not becoming a problem, not from international law perspective and not from the domestic law perspective, and yet the Supreme Court and the legal advisors for their government prevented making those measures effective in Israel. For example, taking citizenship, which is what we just spoke about. It works, and it was also approved by the European Court for Human Rights. And in France, it's been implemented. And in Israel, you cannot implement it because of the Supreme Court in Israel. Right. Simkel Rothman, we're going to a break. Thank you for joining us on I-24 News. Stay with us on this broadcast.

Welcome back to the rundown and let's get back to this weekend's terror attacks in Jerusalem and elsewhere. A major upsurge in Palestinian terror with us in studio is reserves IDF Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Cornricus, the former international spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces. And Jonathan, thank you for joining us. We see this new government grappling with this upsurge in terror. What needs to be done? Are some of these measures the new government proposing in the area of what we might call punitive measures, are they going to be an effective deterrence? That remains to be seen. I think we're in a situation that Israel has been in before where so much lays in what happens on the ground and how effective Israeli troops, IDF, ISA and police are on the ground at stopping the next attack. We know this dynamics from the past where one attack leads to another, leads to another and then we find ourselves within under a wave of terror attacks with multiple casualties on our side and Israel responding. So the number one priority now is to stem the tide and make sure that the next attack doesn't happen and full credit to security forces over the weekend who were able to stop three potential attacks. Unfortunately it was misfire and the guns jammed for one of the terrorists and one of the attempted attacks but the other two were thwarted and that's excellent because they could have turned out into attacks as well. So apart from what the government thinks or wants or plans to do, reality on the ground is really what dictates events and what's happening is that security forces have to be really vigilant and to make sure that there are no openings for another terror attack and to remain, keep the pressure on terror organizations, on the leadership, on senior decision makers, on senior terrorists to make them fear for their lives and whereabouts instead of having the time and availability to plan attacks against Israel while also keeping the lower levels of defense strong and intact as in police on the ground, soldiers on the ground and being at all of the different centers of population. So it's a lot of things that are going on at the same time. It's a question of whether these punitive measures have an effect, an immediate effect or perhaps a long term effect. There's views to this side and to the other. I personally believe that there should be a price to pay for a person who decides to kill civilians in cold blood and anybody who supported him in doing so. Well no one denies that it should be a price to pay certainly and they do pay a price. This is something like the death penalty and effective deterrent when it appears most of these terrorists go out on suicide missions or we have seen a we have seen a policy of home demolitions for many, many years in Israel. Has it been an effective deterrent and is extending that going to make it any more effective? Yeah, so it is an open question and I've heard ISA experts claim one thing and I've heard IDF officials claim other things. I personally haven't seen an empiric research that says this is what house demolitions lead to but I can see and understand the Middle Eastern logic of having a punitive immediate measure as a deterrent. What I would like to focus on and I think I'd connect with the member of Knesset who spoke before me. I think that the it is long overdue to deal with the state sponsored or Palestinian authority sponsor of terrorism. We call the pay to slay policy of compensation. This is something that I think all everybody in Israel understand and many people in the world also understand. It is absurd. It is totally inconceivable that Israel allows this to continue and doesn't make it extremely costly for the Palestinian authority to continue to bankroll terrorist activities against. I mean, you know, the argument to that by some security experts is if you don't, if you bring down the Palestinian authority, if that could you'd have, you'd have Hamas and Islamic Palestinian Islamic Jihad in it. Yeah, I don't necessarily think that stemming or stopping the flow of money to convicted terrorists or prisoners will bring down the authority. If so, maybe then having the authority isn't such a great thing to begin with. But that's a bigger question that we can discuss separately. But this is something that I think is absurd, shouldn't exist and needs to change. And if now the Israeli government and according to what the member of Knesset said, there seems to be a large unity behind it. The significant number of members of Knesset that are willing to back this legislation. I think that's a good thing because that needs to change and it needs to change now. I personally believe that that kind of legislation will have maybe not an immediate but a midterm effect on making people think, how will the life of my family be if I kill myself and kill others and they won't get a stipend for the rest of their lives. Jonathan Kunrika, stay with us. We're going to look at another very interesting aspect of these terror attacks. Of course, one can find at the scene of most terror attacks here, the paramedics of Israel's Magen-DeVita-Dome Emergency Medical Rescue Service, known here as MADA. One MADA paramedic was a first responder to both of this weekend's terror attacks in Jerusalem. Fadi Dukai-Dik, he's a 20-year veteran of the rescue service and an Arab resident of East Jerusalem. Fadi, thank you so much for joining us. I want to start with the Nevae Yaakov incident. You've dealt with 20 years, I'm sure you've seen a lot. But this was a particularly terrible incident. Just your response on coming to the scene there in the Nevae Yaakov. Yes, good evening. And Friday evening, I found myself the first paramedic in the heart attack in Nevae Yaakov. I get to go to Nevae Yaakov, let's take for me one second to be in the place. It's a hard situation, it's a very hard situation. I saw a lot of patients in the past. But right now in Friday evening in Shabbat, it was the hardest, the very hard things, very hard pictures. I take care of a lot of people, I saw a lot of blood in the street, it's very hard. Fadi, it's mostly every Israeli knows that at almost every level of the medical services here you find Arab representation. But you deal with sometimes very emotional scenes immediately after terror attacks. We did see that in the Nevae Yaakov. We did hear some cries, racist cries, death to Arabs. How do you respond to that? How do you keep your focus and deal with that as you're trying to save lives there at the scene? I tell you something in our organization, Maginda Vida Dom, in Israel we learn how to take care of the patient, how to put our feelings beside and just to be focused and to give our patient a 100% care. It's very hard, it's not easy, it's very, very, very hard. But after that when we go home, when we go to our station, when we talk about this situation, it's make easy. Right. I want to talk about another difficult situation. I mentioned before you were at the scene of the attack in the city of David at Nevae outside Jerusalem, sitting there, and one of the victims there, the wounded, was someone you know. I don't know if that's the first time that's happened to you, but how is it to come on a scene and you have to treat or help someone that you personally recognize in an attack? It's not easy. It's not easy. When I go to take care of the patient, when I see that I know them, when I take care of them, it's not easy to explain. It's very hard to explain. I tell you something and when I thinking about that, I told myself, I don't know how I explain that, but something inside me told me that's my job. That's what I am. That's what I know to do. I must help the people. I must help all the people. I should not care what's from where or what they people, I must take care of all the people in Israel. All right. Fadi Dukadek of the Maghen Davida Dome Services, thank you for joining us. Thank you. Good evening. Now as we said earlier, the government will quickly to seal the family homes of the terrorist attacks ahead of their planned demolitions, including that of the 13-year-old Palestinian teen who wounded two Israelis in the city of David Quarter before he was shot and wounded by armed passerbys. Reporter Pierre Klaus Schenler is in that Jebel Macabre neighborhood of East Jerusalem, where his family home is located, and let's talk about that scene there in Jebel Macabre. Incidentally, the first time a government has authorized a family home be sealed with demolition in which there would actually no fatalities in the terrorist attack that was carried out by the attacker. Absolutely Kaleb. And Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made sure to explain that the decision to seal the home of the family of that 13-year-old boy who attempted to murder Israelis yesterday in the neighborhood of Silwan was a punctual decision. It's a one-time decision simply because there is no such law which allows the Israeli government to seal a house in advance of its demolition. That's only the case for murderers and that young boy probably intended to murder Israeli, but he did not succeed. And thus, according to the existing law, there can't be any measure against the home of the family. Now this is a punctual decision, but obviously we're in the midst of a drive to override the Supreme Court, to reform very deeply the judicial system. And there's going to be a race against time in a sense because all the measures that have been taken by the government, by the security cabinet, require legislation, most of them at least, regarding revoking Israeli citizenship or Israeli ID card, et cetera. So these are measures that at the moment are more verbal than actual, I would say. All right, Pierre-Claude Chandler and Jebel Macabre, thank you for that and still with us, John Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conriquez. And Jonathan, that is one of the measures that we just talked about extending the home demolition to these terrorists who don't carry out fatal attacks. I think we're doing ourselves a disservice by focusing on house demolitions. OK. And I think that we should again bring things back to really if we were talking about combating terror, then we should go back to proven tactics and doctrines that Israel was one of the first countries that developed and proved them in the world, taking initiative continuous pressure, hunting the terrorists and making them feel uncomfortable, relying on detailed intelligence and generating that intelligence relentlessly and constantly being out in the field and in friction with the organizations, stopping their sources of funding and constantly searching for the terrorist and not allowing them to rear their head or even to establish themselves. Now, that has been done, proven by Israeli security agencies for many years and relatively very successfully. This type of terrorism that we're now seeing a resurgence of the so-called lone attackers are different. They require different capabilities to deal with.
