The Israeli military has said it is preparing to demolish the occupied West Bank homes of two Palestinian men it has accused of assisting in the killing of an Israeli settler earlier this month, Al Jazeera reports.

“Engineering forces and fighters from the Ephraim Brigade operated in the village of [Burqin] to map the homes of terrorists Maher Samara and Jamil Samara, who helped terrorist Nael Samara carry out the shooting attack […] in which the late Tzeela Gez was murdered and another Israeli citizen was injured,” it said in a post on X.
