An IDF engineering unit mapped out the house of Abed al-Rahman Bani Fa’adal, the terrorist responsible for Sunday’s deadly stabbing murder of Adiel Kolman, the first step in demolishing his home.

Fa’adal, a 28-year-old father of two living in the Palestinian Authority town of Aqraba near Nablus in Samaria, stabbed 32-year-old Kolman, a father of four from Kochav Hashachar, to death in the Old City of Jerusalem.

The killer had been issued an entry permit by Israeli authorities under the premise of looking for employment.

Fa’adal was shot and killed by police near the Lion’s Gate in the Old City.

Kolman was buried in Kochav Hashachar at 11 a.m. on Monday. He is survived by his parents, his wife Ayelet and their four young children.

Sunday’s attack came just days after an Arab terrorist ran down and killed Israeli soldiers Capt. Ziv Deus, 21, and Sgt. Netanel Kahalani, 20, injuring two more.
