IDF forces on Wednesday demolished the home of one of the terrorists who carried out the lethal terror attack at Gush Etzion Junction on July 10.

The residence was located in the village of Bazariya in Samaria.

Both of the terrorists behind the attack reportedly served in the Palestinian Authority police forces.

After arriving by car, the terrorists left the vehicle and stabbed Shalev Zvuluny, 22, a resident of the Jewish community of Kiryat Arba near Hebron, who was working as a security guard at the Gush Etzion Junction shopping mall.

“The assailants then snatched his handgun and exchanged fire with a soldier and an armed civilian before being killed,” according to Israel’s Foreign Ministry.

Magen David Adom paramedics pronounced Zvuluny dead at the scene.
