This part of the article is a bit down from the top:

"Israel earlier announced that it had decided to stop demolishing 
Palestinian homes in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

The move follows international criticism and heated debate within 
Israel over the demolition of dozens of buildings at the Rafah 
refugee camp in Gaza following an attack by Palestinian militants 
last week.

The sight of more homeless Palestinians triggers more anger
Palestinians said the action left scores of families homeless; 
Israel said most of the buildings were being used as shelter by 
Palestinian gunmen and weapons smugglers.

"We learned a lesson and reached the conclusion that this method - 
the damage it causes is greater than the benefit," said Israeli 
Foreign Minister Shimon Peres."
