Occupation forces arrested 15-year-old Palestinian suspect Murad Ideis in a raid on his family home days after a 38-year-old female settler was killed in a stabbing attack last January.

Occupation authorities demolishes the homes of alleged attackers. Rights groups say it amounts to collective punishment, with families forced to suffer for the acts of relatives.

Meanwhile, the occupation army said it had made preparations for the destruction of the nearby homes of two Palestinians accused of shooting and killing four Israelis at a Tel Aviv nightspot on Wednesday.

Cousins Khaled Mohammad Makhamrah, 22, Mohammad Ahmad Makhamrah, 21, are both from the town of Yatta, around one kilometer east of Beit Amra.

Wednesday's attack, which also wounded five bystanders, has prompted a range of measures from Israel, including a decision to temporarily bar entry for all Palestinians.
