During operations in the West Bank town of Dayr Ibzi’ overnight, the IDF says, it demolished the home of a Palestinian gunman who killed a soldier in a sniper attack last year.

On March 22, 2024, Mujahid Barakat Mansour opened fire on civilians and soldiers near the settlement of Dolev, killing Sgt. First Class Ilay David Garfinkel and wounding several other soldiers.

Mansour was killed in a helicopter strike after an hours-long exchange of fire with soldiers.

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