CRI听力:Netanyahu Promises Strict Measures against Attacks

Israeli forces have demolished the home of a Palestinian man behind a deadly attack in Jerusalema last month.

The demolishing of the home has come just hours after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised strict security measures in the wake of a grisly assault on a synagogue in Jerusalem on Tuesday.

Netanyahu is describing the demolition "a significant and important step."

"I am impressed by the genuine effort to market our capabilities, both to protect and to intervene in real-time against disturbers of the peace and terrorists. No effort is spared here; this has great effect. This morning we demolished the home of a terrorist. This is a significant and important step and there will be more home demolitions; there will be many more steps."

In Tuesday's synagogue attack, four rabbis and a police officer were killed after two Palestinians wielding meat cleavers and a pistol launched the assault.

The attack is the deadliest in Jerusalem since 2008.

It comes amid weeks of tensions linked to disputes over the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, known to Muslim as the al-Aqsa Mosque.
