During operations in the West Bank city of Salfit this morning, the IDF says it demolished the home of a Palestinian terrorist who murdered two Israelis last summer.

The terrorist, Amar Odeh, went on a stabbing spree in the central city of Holon on August 4, 2024, killing Rina Daniv and Avraham Somechi and wounding two others.

Odeh was shot dead by a police officer at the scene.

IDF troops demolished Odeh’s home in Salfit this morning. As a matter of policy, Israel demolishes the homes of Palestinians accused of carrying out deadly attacks.
