During operations in the West Bank town of Rafat today, the IDF says it

During operations in the West Bank town of Rafat today, the IDF says it demolished the home of a Palestinian assailant who killed a soldier in a car-ramming attack in September.

On September 11, Hayil Dhaifallah, 58, rammed a fuel tanker he was driving into an army post next to a bus stop on Route 60 outside the settlement of Givat Assaf, killing Staff Sgt. Geri Gideon Hanghal, 24.

Dhaifallah's home was demolished by troops of the Kfir Brigade's Nahshon Battalion, where Hanghal served, along with Border Police forces.

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