Erupt means something breaking out suddenly and dramatically.

Finish means to end.

Destine means to intend or choose for a particular purpose.

Continues means persist in an activity or process.

Erupts is the correct word to be used in the context as the passage wants to convey the meaning that whenever there is violence, it is not good for Israel.

Thus, option 5 is the correct answer.
