🇮🇱-Israeli forces demolished the home of a Palestinian who opened fire during a deadly clash in the West Bank village of Tell last month. During the July 24 incident, Tell resident Farouk Ramadan snatched a gun from an Israeli security officer amid a confrontation between residents of the village and a group of Israelis who were hiking through the area. Ramadan opened fire with the stolen rifle, killing IDF officer Maj. Yuval Ezra, 27. Civil defense squad member Master Sergeant (res.) Benayahu Mellet, 32, was also killed in the incident, although an IDF probe found that he may have been hit by other Israelis who returned fire on the gunman. Ramadan was killed by Ezra, and three other Palestinians were also shot dead in the incident. The military says that troops, including members of Ezra's unit -- the 411th Artillery Battalion -- operated in Tell overnight and this morning to demolish Ramadan's home. As a matter of policy, Israel demolishes the homes of Palestinians accused of carrying out deadly terror attacks.
