The IDF says it operated overnight in the West Bank town of Dayr Ibzi’ to measure the home of Mujahid Barakat Mansour, the Palestinian terrorist who carried out a shooting attack near the settlement of Dolev yesterday, ahead of its potential demolition.

Israel regularly destroys the homes of Palestinians accused of carrying out terror attacks.

Seven Israelis were hurt in the attack yesterday, in which Mansour opened fire with a sniper rifle on an Israeli minibus and later against troops searching for him.

After five hours of clashes and searches, Mansour was killed in a helicopter strike.
