IDF troops demolished the home of a Palestinian terrorist involved in a deadly shooting attack in the West Bank in 2024, the military says.

On December 11, 2024, two Palestinian terrorists opened fire on a bus traveling from the Beitar Ilit settlement to Jerusalem, as it passed a junction by the West Bank town of al-Khader.

Yehoshua Aharon Tuvia Simha, 12, was killed, and several others were wounded in the attack.

The IDF says it operated in the town of Dura this morning and demolished the home of Azmi Nader Abu Halil, one of the gunmen.

The home of the second terrorist, Ezz Aldin Malluh, was demolished last year.

As a matter of policy, Israel demolishes the homes of Palestinians accused of carrying out deadly terror attacks.
