Overnight, the IDF says it demolished the homes of three Palestinian terrorists who carried out deadly shooting attacks.
The homes in the West Bank town of Qabatiya belonged to Muhammad Zakarna, Mohammed Nazal, and Wael Lahlouh.
Zakarna and Nazal carried out a deadly terror shooting attack in the West Bank village of al-Funduq in January, along with a third gunman, Qutaiba al-Shalabi.
The attack on January 6 killed off-duty police officer Master Sgt. Elad Yaakov Winkelstein and civilians Rachel Cohen and Aliza Raiz. All three terrorists, who according to the IDF were affiliated with Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and the Islamic State jihadist movement, were later killed by Israeli forces.
Lahlouh, a member of Hamas, carried out a deadly shooting attack in the Jordan Valley on August 11, 2024, killing civilian Yonatan Deutsch and wounding another man. Lahlouh was also later killed in a drone strike in Jenin.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
