According to Israel, Ahmad Himouni, 25, and Mohammad Mesek, 19, went on a shooting and stabbing spree at a light rail station in the Jaffa area of the city on October 1, 2024, just minutes before Iran launched a massive missile attack on the country. Mesek was shot dead by a municipal security officer, and Himouni was seriously wounded after being shot by armed civilians. Members of the IDF’s elite Yahalom combat engineering unit and the Judea Regional Brigade demolished a home belonging to Himouni in the West Bank city of Hebron overnight, the military says. Video of the demolition shared by Palestinian media showed controlled explosions in the second story of a five-story building. According to the army, only Himouni’s apartment was razed, with limited damage caused to the other apartments in the building. In March, the IDF also said that homes belonging to Mesek and Himouni in Hebron were razed. The military confirms to The Times of Israel that the home demolished overnight is a separate structure from the one previously demolished.
