Israeli forces have surrounded the home of slain Palestinian fighter Barakat Mansour in Deir Ibzi, near Ramallah, ahead of its planned demolition, local media report.
According to The Times of Israel, the army had already surveyed the house for destruction. Mansour was killed in March 2024 after a five-hour battle in which he killed an Israeli commando and wounded several others.
Earlier on Wednesday, Israeli forces blew up the home of Palestinian prisoner Zaid al-Junaidi in Hebron.
Israel routinely demolishes the family homes of Palestinians who fight against the Israeli occupation, a policy widely condemned as collective punishment.
