Palestinian media report that Israeli forces have destroyed the home of a Palestinian man who carried out a deadly terror attack in Tel Aviv just over a year ago.

Video posted online show what appear to be a series of controlled explosions in a second-story apartment in Hebron, which Palestinian media report belonged to Ahmad Himouni.

According to Israel, Himouni and Mohammed Mesek killed seven Israeli and foreign civilians and wounded 15 others during a deadly terror attack in Jaffa on October 1, 2024, as people rushed to find shelter ahead of an Iranian ballistic missile attack.

Municipal security officers and armed civilians at the scene shot the attackers, killing Mesek and seriously injuring Himouni.

A demolition order signed by Central Command head Maj. Gen. Avi Bluth was delivered to the property in July.

There is no immediate comment from the Israel Defense Forces.

Israel regularly demolishes or seals off the homes of Palestinian attackers as part of what it calls a policy of deterrence.
