| [IsraelTimes] IDF troops demolished the homes of two Palestinian terrorists who carried out a deadly shooting attack in the West Bank last year, the military says. According to the IDF, Abd al-Arouf Masri and Ahmed Abu Ara were among members of a Hamas cell that carried out the shooting on August 11, 2024, at the Mehola Junction on Route 90, the main north-south artery in the Jordan Valley, killing Yonatan Deutsch, 23, and wounding Anas Jaramana, 32. Abu Ara was killed in a drone strike on August 16, 2024 and Masri was killed in an exchange of fire with troops on October 8, 2024. The army says troops demolished the homes of the two gunmen, in the West Bank village of Aqabah yesterday. The IDF previously announced that it had razed the home of a Palestinian gunman accused of carrying out a deadly December 2024 shooting attack yesterday. As a matter of policy, Israel demolishes the homes of Palestinians accused of carrying out deadly terror attacks. The process of razing a terrorist’s home usually takes months as their family can appeal to the High Court against the move, and the military waits for “optimal conditions” to carry out the demolition. |
