The Israel Defense Forces on Tuesday night demolished the residence of terrorist Mujahid Mansour in Deir Ibzi’a, located in the Binyamin region.

Mansour was responsible for the March 22, 2024, attack at HaParsa Junction, which resulted in the death of Staff Sgt. Ilai David Gurfinkel and injuries to six other soldiers.

Garfinkel, 21, from Sitria, a moshav in central Israel, was a member of the Duvdevan unit of the IDF Commando Brigade.

The IDF stated that the demolition serves as a deterrent against future terrorist activities. This action aligns with Israel’s long standing policy of demolishing the homes of individuals involved in fatal attacks against its citizens and military personnel.

The March 22 incident at HaParsa Junction was part of a series of escalated confrontations in the region, leading to increased security operations by the IDF to address and prevent further attacks.

The move is part of a growing effort by the Trump administration to root out Jew-hatred in Latin America, which flourished among leftist governments after Oct. 7.
The United States, Morocco and Israel said they are “undaunted by regional challenges”
The former president’s son pointed to a “bombshell” report that he said had been published a few days earlier, apparently referring to claims by Haaretz.
Rabbi Binyamin Krauss, principal of SAR Academy, told JNS that the gathering is meant to be a “positive statement” that “We’re here. We’re Jewish. We want to be safe and express our Zionism.”
