During operations in the West Bank city of Jenin today, the IDF says it demolished the home of a Palestinian terror operative involved in the killing of a soldier in the summer.
Nidal Amer was part of a Palestinian Islamic Jihad cell that set off two explosive devices against army vehicles in Jenin on June 27, killing Cpt. Alon Sacgiu and wounding 16 other soldiers.
Amer was killed by Border Police officers in July.
IDF troops demolished Amer’s home in Jenin today. As a matter of policy, Israel demolishes the homes of Palestinians accused of carrying out deadly attacks.
