The IDF announced on Monday its intention to demolish the house of the terrorist who carried out two bombing attacks in Yerushalayim last November and attempted a third one, killing two Jews, Hy”d.

Eslam Froukh placed and activated explosives at two bus stops at the entrance to the city and at Ramot Junction on Nov. 23.

The twin bombings killed 16-year-old Aryeh Shechopek, Hy”d, and 50-year-old Tadasa Tashume Ben Ma’ada, Hy”d, and wounded over 20 people.

According to the security forces, a third explosion was planned but failed. The 26-year-old terrorist, affiliated with the Islamic State terror group, was detained on Nov. 29, following a large-scale manhunt to catch him.

Surveillance camera footage was collected from dozens of areas in Yerushalayim in an effort to detect the escape route of the terrorist.

The terrorist’s house in Ramallah was mapped by the IDF in early January. The family of the terrorist was given an opportunity to submit an appeal to the demolition, according to the IDF spokesperson.
