Overnight, the IDF demolished the homes of Muhammad Zawahra and Kathem

Overnight, the IDF demolished the homes of Muhammad Zawahra and Kathem Zawahra, two of three Palestinian terrorists who carried out a deadly shooting attack near a Jerusalem checkpoint in February, killing Matan Elmaliah and wounding 11 others.

The pair, who are brothers, were killed by security forces and armed civilians amid the attack on the Route 1 highway between Jerusalem and the West Bank settlement city of Ma'ale Adumim on February 22. The third terrorist, Ahmed Al-Wahsh, was detained.

The IDF says troops operated in the Bethlehem area town of Za'atara overnight to demolish the homes.

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

Elsewhere in the West Bank, three wanted Palestinians were detained. Since October 7, troops have arrested some 4,200 wanted Palestinians across the West Bank, including more than 1,750 affiliated with Hamas, according to the IDF.
