Overnight, the IDF says troops operated in the West Bank city of Qalqilya and demolished the home of a Palestinian terrorist involved in a deadly shooting attack.

Jamal Abu Haniyeh was a member of a Palestinian Islamic Jihad cell, who according to the IDF, shot dead Israeli civilian Amnon Muchtar in a terror attack in Qalqilya on June 22.

Abu Haniyeh was killed in a drone strike near Tulkarem in August, along with eight other operatives.

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