According to the military, the demolition notice was delivered after security forces completed the sealing of the attacker’s home.
The IDF has issued a demolition order for the home of the terrorist who killed two people in a combined terror attack in northern Israel in December, the military confirmed on Monday.
The attack, carried out across multiple locations, resulted in the murder of Shimshon Mordechai and Aviv Maor and wounded additional civilians.
According to the military, the demolition notice was delivered after security forces completed the sealing of the attacker’s home. The IDF said the action is part of measures approved after operational and legal review.
Combined terror attack killed two, wounded others
During the attack, the terrorist ran over and killed Mordechai near Beit She’an. The terrorist then fled in a vehicle, exiting it to stab Maor on Route 71.
The terrorist continued driving before being neutralized outside of Afula.
“When we arrived at the scene, we saw the boy sitting inside a car, conscious and suffering from injuries to his limbs.” Daniel Mousai, a Magen David Adom EMT, said. “Citizens who were there told us that he had been hit by a fleeing vehicle, and they helped him in the first moments.”
Mousai reports that just as they were loading the boy into an ambulance for him to be taken to the hospital, they received a report of an unconscious injured person on a nearby street.
“I immediately got to him and saw a 68-year-old man lying on the side of the road, suffering from a serious chest injury. Together with the intensive care unit team, we provided medical treatment and performed CPR, but his injury was fatal, and we had to pronounce him dead on the spot.”
