IDF to demolish home of terrorist who killed 18-year-old Yehuda Sherman in March West Bank attack

Hasson was indicted for Sherman's murder on May 14, with additional indictments for intentionally causing the death of two others, obstruction of justice, and possession of weapons without a permit.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have authorized the demolition of the residence of terrorist Duas Hasson, who was responsible for the March attack in the West Bank that claimed the life of 18-year-old Yehuda Sherman. The military revealed this decision on Sunday, following the initial delivery of the notice of intent on Friday.

On the fateful day of the incident, Hasson, residing in the West Bank village of Beit Umrin, drove his pickup truck towards a road near the village entrance after hearing about Israeli settlers approaching. Upon observing Sherman's vehicle, Hasson deliberately rammed it from behind, causing it to topple off a cliff. Sherman, along with another passenger, was thrown from the vehicle, resulting in Sherman's demise.

Hasson was later indicted for Sherman's murder on May 14, along with charges for intentionally causing the deaths of two others, obstructing justice, and possessing weapons without a permit. Prosecutors have requested the court to extend Hasson's detention until the legal proceedings are finalized.
