The IDF and Shin Bet mapped the homes of the two terrorists who carried out Friday's deadly shooting attack near Kfar Tell in Samaria, the military said Sunday morning. The operation was conducted by forces under the Samaria Brigade. The shooter's home was mapped after he was eliminated; the second terrorist's home was mapped after his arrest in Nablus. The homes were mapped for temporary sealing, a preliminary step toward demolition, with decisions to follow security recommendations.
The IDF and Shin Bet have officially confirmed the mapping of the homes of the two terrorists who carried out the shooting attack near Kfar Tell in Samaria on Friday, July 24. The announcement, released Sunday morning, provided additional details beyond an earlier security source report: the operation was conducted under the Samaria Brigade in the village of Kfar Tell, where the terrorists resided. The home of the shooter, who was eliminated at the scene, was mapped, as was the home of the accomplice who stole the weapon and was arrested in Nablus.
The mapping is a standard step toward temporary sealing of the homes, a preliminary measure before potential demolition. Decisions on the sealing will be made based on security recommendations. The two terrorists killed Maj. Yuval Ezra and Sgt. Maj. (res.) Binyahu Melat in the attack.
The Zioneer had reported the mapping earlier at 06:07 based on a security source. This official statement confirms and expands on that report, noting the involvement of the Samaria Brigade and the specific location in Kfar Tell.
