The IDF demolished the home of Osama Tawil in the West Bank town of Nablus on Wednesday night, according to the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit.

Tawil is one of the terrorists who murdered IDF soldier St.-Sgt. Ido Baruch last October.

Clashes developed after the IDF entered Nablus to begin the demolishment process and a gunfight ensued, during which explosive devices were thrown at the IDF soldiers. The IDF responded with crowd dispersal measures and by opening fire.

Multiple Palestinians were injured and at least one man was killed in the exchange of fire, according to Kan citing Palestinian media reports.

Baruch was killed in October 2022
St.-Sgt. Ido Baruch, a soldier in the Givati Brigade, was shot and killed by Tawil and another terrorist on October 11, 2022, near Shavei Shomron in the northern West Bank.
