IDF Demolishes Homes of Palestinian Militants in Hebron
Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and combat engineers from the Yahalom unit, under the command of the Judea Brigade and the 98th Division, operated in Hebron earlier today, Friday, to demolish the homes of two militants. These militants were involved in a firefight at the Yehuda Junction last week, which resulted in the deaths of Sergeant Major Ron Yonatan Reitman and Sergeant Yuval Shai Suilam, and left three other soldiers lightly wounded. The two militants were killed during an exchange of fire with security forces following the incident. The demolition occurred just one week after the initial clash, a remarkably swift timeframe for such an action. In a separate operation in the area yesterday, Thursday, IDF soldiers also destroyed three memorial sites associated with militants and incitement to terrorism. Security forces stated their continued proactive and offensive operations to thwart terrorism throughout Judea and Samaria.
