IDF demolishes home of alleged West Bank soldier killer.

Israeli troops entered Nablus to demolish the home of a Palestinian gunman accused of killing an Israeli soldier last year. Clashes erupted, with Palestinian Red Crescent reporting that it had treated some 33 people. The IDF said that Palestinian gunmen had opened fire at troops, while others hurled explosive devices causing slight damage to a military vehicle. As a matter of policy, Israel regularly demolishes the homes of Palestinians accused of carrying out deadly terror attacks, touting the strategy as a deterrent. Nablus has seen repeated IDF raids over the past year, and Thursday’s home demolition came amid a spate of violence in the West Bank.
