Israeli forces on Friday morning demolished the home of one of the terrorists responsible for the Sept. 8 shooting attack at Jerusalem’s Ramot Junction that left six people dead.
Operating in the Palestinian village of Qatanna, 7.5 miles northwest of Jerusalem in the Binyamin region of Samaria, troops destroyed the home of Mohammad Taha, who was killed shortly after carrying out the attack.

On Sept. 27, Israeli forces demolished the home of the second terrorist involved in the deadly Jerusalem attack. The house, located in the village of Al-Qubeiba, also in the Binyamin region of Samaria, belonged to Muthanna Amro, who was also killed during the assault.
The slain victims were identified as Yosef David, 43, from Jerusalem; Sarah Mendelson, 60, from Jerusalem; Israel Mentzer, 28, from Jerusalem; Levi Yitzhak Pash, 57, from Tel Zion; Yaakov Pinto, 25, from Jerusalem; and Mordechai Steintzeg, 79, from Jerusalem.
The Hamas terrorist group claimed responsibility for the shooting, praising Amro and Taha for “killing Zionists and wounding others, some of them critically, before ascending to their Lord as martyrs, facing the enemy without turning back.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met on Sept. 18 with Sgt S., the soldier who, together with an armed civilian, killed the terrorists, at his office in Jerusalem.
“You did a great thing and saved many people,” Netanyahu said. “I want to thank you on behalf of the government of Israel, the State of Israel and the people of Israel. Well done—you prevented a very great disaster.”
