In a rare move, the IDF planning to demolish the home of a Palestinian gunman who killed an Israeli soldier at a checkpoint near Jerusalem last year, after the home was rebuilt following its first demolition earlier this year.
Overnight, IDF troops operated in the West Bank city of Hebron to measure the home of Abdelqader Qawasmeh ahead of its demolition.
Qawasmeh was one of three members of the Hamas terror group who attacked the "tunnels" checkpoint on the West Bank's Route 60, south of Jerusalem in November 2023, killing Cpl. Avraham Fetena, a Military Police soldier.
The IDF says the home was mapped out "ahead of the demolition of the house after it was rebuilt after its previous demolition."
As a matter of policy, Israel demolishes the homes of Palestinians accused of carrying out deadly terror attacks. Rarely does Israel re-demolish homes that are rebuilt.

Israeli fighter jets carried out two waves of airstrikes against Hezbollah targets in Beirut's southern suburbs earlier today, as well as a strike on the Lebanese-Syrian border last night, the IDF says.
The targets in Beirut included weapon depots, command centers, and other infrastructure used by Hezbollah, according to the military.
Before the strikes were carried out the IDF issued evacuation warnings to civilians in the area. The IDF accuses Hezbollah of placing its assets inside and under civilian buildings.
Separately, Israeli fighter jets hit several land crossing roads in Syria last night, which the IDF says were being used by Hezbollah to smuggle weapons into Lebanon from Iran.
Several routes and border crossings between Lebanon and Syria have been struck by the IDF in recent weeks, amid efforts to counter Hezbollah's weapon smuggling attempts.
