Before somebody else would add this - suicide bombers' families, most probably, *would* lose their homes. It's Israeli policy to blow or to seal such homes whenever possible. (People *are* given about a hour to take their possessions out), but they would be well compensated. I am not sure what *is* current sum that families of proven shahids receive, but they are well provided for.
