Jerusalem: Israel on Friday night razed the homes in the occupied West Bank of four Palestinians blamed for attacking Israelis, the army said, its latest punitive demolition after weeks of deadly unrest.

One house, in Nablus in the northern West Bank, belonged to three Palestinians who killed an Israeli settler couple on October 1, the military said.

Another, in Silwad, to the northeast of Ramallah, was the home of a Palestinian who in June killed an Israeli who was travelling to the West Bank, the statement added.
