During operations in Qalqilya overnight, the IDF says it demolished the home of a Palestinian terrorist who killed an Israeli man in the West Bank city last summer.

On June 22, Ali Khalil and other members of a Palestinian Islamic Jihad cell opened fire on an Israeli car in Qalqilya, killing Amnon Muchtar, 67, of Petah Tikva.

Khalil and a second terrorist involved in the attack, Jamal Abu Haniyeh, along with seven other gunmen, were killed in drone strikes in the Tulkarem area of the West Bank in August.

Khalil's home was demolished overnight. Abu Haniyeh's was razed in January.

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