IDF Prepares to Demolish West Bank Home of Tel Aviv Shooter

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) measured the home of Kamel Abu Bakr, the Palestinian gunman who killed a security guard in Tel Aviv, in preparation for its possible demolition. Abu Bakr, a member of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group, was shot dead by a patrol officer's colleague after critically injuring the security guard. Israel regularly demolishes the homes of Palestinians accused of carrying out terror attacks, a practice criticized by human rights activists as unjust collective punishment. The IDF also reported a Palestinian rioter hurling an explosive device during the operation.

Israeli-Palestinian Tensions Escalate with Deadly Confrontations

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) used airpower in the West Bank twice this week, including a drone strike on a car carrying three Palestinian gunmen from Jenin, marking the first such deadly airstrike on Palestinians in the West Bank since 2006. The use of airpower indicates Israel is looking to change the rules of the game when it comes to fighting Palestinian terror, after Palestinian armed groups ramped up terror attacks and more heavily resisted Israeli operations. The northern West Bank, and especially the city of Jenin and its environs, have long been considered hotbeds of terrorism.

IDF demolishes home of terrorist in Ramallah.

The Israel Defense Forces demolished the Ramallah home of Eslam Froukh, a Palestinian terrorist charged with carrying out a deadly twin bombing attack in Jerusalem last year. The home was destroyed after an appeal to the High Court of Justice was rejected. Clashes broke out during the demolition, and Palestinians threw stones and firebombs at the troops who responded with riot dispersal means and live fire. Six people were wounded during the clashes. Israel regularly demolishes the homes of Palestinians accused of carrying out deadly terror attacks.
