Ha’aretz

The battle for the liberation of Jerusalem continues. The Jews did not initiate this battle, nor did the Jews of Jerusalem bring turmoil to the Holy City.

The case of the elderly Yemenite sage, Rabbi Avraham Hamadi, whose home was confiscated and demolished (on August 3) because a weapons cache was found in one of its outer rooms, underscores once again the importance of challenging the blind obedience to military orders.
