The IDF says it demolished the home of a Hamas terrorist charged with being involved in a deadly shooting attack in the West Bank last summer.

Bassel Shehadeh, of the village of Urif, was indicted over his involvement in the attack carried out by two other Hamas gunmen near the settlement of Eli in June 2023, killing four Israelis.

Shehadeh’s home in Urif was demolished overnight, the IDF says. The homes of the other two gunmen have already been razed.

The IDF says that in other overnight operations in the West Bank, troops detained seven wanted Palestinians.
