Israel says home sealing and demolitions are an effective tool to deter attacks.

Critics say the tactic amounts to collective punishment.

The move comes amid a five month-long wave of Israeli-Palestinian violence that has killed 28 Israelis and 172 Palestinians.

Israel says the violence stems from incitement by Palestinians.

The Palestinians say it’s rooted in frustrations over Israel’s nearly half a century-long occupation.
