The IDF says troops mapped two homes in the West Bank village of Bruqin belonging to a pair of Palestinians suspected of aiding the terrorist who killed Tzeela Gez last week while she was heading to a hospital to give birth.

A statement from the military identifies the two suspects as Maher Samarah and Jabil Samarah, adding that soldiers mapped the homes overnight ahead of their potential demolition.

The Israel Defense Forces on Wednesday confirmed it killed Naael Samarah, who carried out the deadly attack.
