Overnight, the IDF says troops operated in the West Bank village of Einabus, near Nablus, to measure the home of a Hamas terrorist ahead of its potential demolition.

The terrorist, Samir Muhammad Ahmad Hussein, opened fire at a civilian bus near the West Bank settlement of Ariel on Friday, before being shot dead by troops.

Eight people were wounded in the attack, including three in serious condition.

“The mapping was carried out in preparation for examining the possibility of demolishing the terrorist’s house,” the army says.
