IDF forces demolished the home of terrorist Mahmoud Yusef Abed in the village of Halhul, near Hebron, in the Etzion Brigade area, on Monday overnight.
According to an IDF statement, forces from the Yahalom unit operated during the night in order to put out Abed's house, due to his former terror shooting attack perpetrated at Gush Junction in July.
"Abed carried out the shooting attack together with another terrorist on July 10, 2025, at the Gush Junction in the Etzion Brigade area, where Shalev Zevuloni, of blessed memory, was murdered," the IDF stated.
In December 2025, the IDF demolished a house belonging to the other terrorist responsible for killing Zevuloni.
"IDF forces operated in the village of Bazariya in the Shomron Brigade to demolish the home of the terrorist Malek Ibrahim Salem," the statement read.
Terrorists were former police officers returning to West Bank after studies
Salem and Abed were Palestinian Authority police officers who recently returned to the West Bank after completing their studies in Qatar, according to Palestinian media reports at the time.
Eyewitnesses said that the terrorists arrived in a stolen car at the shopping center and stabbed Zevuloni, a security guard, outside the Rami Levi supermarket. The assailants then snatched the guard’s handgun and exchanged fire with a soldier and an armed civilian before being killed.
They were neutralized at the scene.
