The Israel Defense Forces gave notice on Friday of its intention to confiscate and destroy the house of the terrorist who killed two Israelis at a Samaria gas station in February.

The terrorist, Muhammad Manasser, an officer in the Palestinian Authority police and a resident of Qalandiya, was slain after shooting and killing two Israelis on the afternoon of Feb. 29 at a gas station outside the town of Eli in the Binyamin region of Samaria.

The victims were identified as Yitzchak Zeiger, a 57-year-old father of three and grandfather of two from Shavei Shomron in northern Samaria, and Uria Hartum, a 16-year-old high-schooler from Dolev in Binyamin who had hitched a ride with Zeiger.

The sites contained anti-tank missiles, long-range weapons, RPGs, tactical vests and other combat equipment.
Israeli troops are operating in the area in accordance with ceasefire understandings.
“We demand an explanation from the Spanish government regarding its treatment of the flotilla anarchists,” the Foreign Ministry wrote.
Seven Israeli soldiers were wounded in the incident, which was captured on camera.
Police uncovered materials believed to be capable of use in the manufacture of explosives.
The man was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital, and a bystander was hit in the gunfire, the agency said.
