JERUSALEM, Jan. 15 (Xinhua) -- The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Thursday that it demolished a Palestinian house in the southern West Bank city of Hebron overnight.

The house was owned by Imran al-Atrash, one of the two perpetrators behind a combined car-ramming and stabbing attack, which resulted in the death of a 71-year-old Israeli citizen, the IDF said in a statement.

The attack took place at the Gush Etzion Junction, a major intersection in a settlement bloc south of Jerusalem, on Nov. 18, 2025.

In addition to the fatality, three other Israelis were injured in the incident. Among them, a woman was in critical condition, while two others, including a 15-year-old boy, sustained moderate injuries. Israeli security forces killed the two attackers, both 18 years old, at the scene.
