Israeli Army Damages Bomber’s House
From Times Wire Reports
The Israeli army heavily damaged the home of a teenage Palestinian suicide bomber in Nablus despite his mother’s strong public criticism of the group that sent her son on his mission.

After the destruction, Samira Abdullah, mother of bomber Amer Abdullah, backed off her criticism of her son’s handlers and praised him as a hero.
