Israeli politician Zvi Yedidia Sukkot has been captured on video attempting to demolish a memorial honoring Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank. The footage, which has since gone viral, shows the Religious Zionist Party legislator wielding a sledgehammer at the structure located in Madama village, situated south of Nablus.
Israeli military personnel and border police were present during Sukkot's actions, with his staff members accompanying him as well. In a video posted earlier this month, Sukkot had called for the destruction of the memorial and similar sites in other Palestinian villages. The incident has been documented by Quds News Network.
