WATCH: IDF destroys house of terrorist who killed Netanel Chkroun in West Bank terror attack

Meanwhile, the IDF carried out a strike killing two Hamas terrorists who stored explosives in Gaza's Kamal Adwan Hospital, one of whom worked as a "civil defense worker."

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) demolished the house of a terrorist in the West Bank on Wednesday, the day after Yom Kippur, in retaliation for the killing of Netanel Chkroun in a West Bank terror attack on September 21. The terrorist's home in Bidu was destroyed by soldiers from the IDF's Yahalom Combat Engineers, as well as other IDF troops and Border Police officers.

In addition to the house demolition, the IDF conducted counterterrorism raids across the West Bank. During these operations, dozens of terror inciters who supported the October 7 massacre were detained, and wanted Hamas-affiliated individuals were arrested. The security forces also searched for weapons and destroyed monuments that incited terror and memorials to terrorists throughout the West Bank.

Earlier in the week, the IDF carried out a targeted strike, killing two Hamas terrorists. One of the terrorists, Muhammad Tammous, was a sniper in the Izzadin al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas' military wing, and also served as a civil defense worker in the Gaza Strip. Tammous had planted explosives inside Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, intending to harm IDF soldiers. The IDF identified Tammous as a sniper and a civilian worker, highlighting the hospital's role in terrorist activities, in violation of international law.
