During operations in the West Bank city of Hebron overnight and this morning, the IDF says it demolished the homes of two Palestinian terrorists who murdered seven and wounded 15 in Tel Aviv in October. The terrorists, Ahmed Himouni, 25, and Mohammad Mesek, 19, went on a shooting and stabbing spree at a light rail station in the Jaffa area of the city on October 1, just minutes before Iran launched a massive missile attack on Israel. Mesek was shot dead by a municipal security officer, and Himouni was seriously wounded after being shot by armed civilians. The seven civilians murdered in the attack were Victor Shimshon Green, 33; Revital Bronstein, 24; Shahar Goldman, 30; Inbar Segev Vigder, 33; Nadia Sokolenco, 40; Ilia Nozadze, 42, a Georgian citizen; and Jonas Chrosis, 26, a Greek citizen. Members of the IDF's elite Yahalom combat engineering unit and the Judea Regional Brigade demolished the homes of the two terrorists this morning. As a matter of policy, Israel demolishes the homes of Palestinians accused of carrying out deadly attacks.
The shooting attack near Hebron served as a stark reminder of the persistent security threats in the area. As the manhunt continued, Israeli forces remained on high alert, focusing on preventing further attacks and ensuring the safety of the public.
