Israeli forces destroyed two homes on Wednesday in the Palestinian West Bank village of Beita, which belonged to terrorists Zakariya Muhammad Abd Daoud and Ibrahim Abd al-Karim Abd Daoud.
The two men carried out three terror attacks throughout 2024 and 2025 using explosive devices; Israeli soldiers were wounded in two of the attacks.
During the same operation, which spanned several West Bank villages as well as the city of Nablus, soldiers from the Duvdevan Unit arrested a man who had been trafficking in explosives and weaponry and working to get those items into the hands of terrorists. Additionally, Israeli forces arrested a wanted individual who is suspected of involvement in the manufacturing of weapons and explosives, arms trafficking, and planning terror attacks.
