Israel Defense Forces soldiers on Sunday demolished the Samaria home of Palestinian terrorist Nael Samara, who on May 14 murdered Tzeela Gez, 30, as she was en route to the hospital to give birth to her fourth child.

Gez’s baby, who was named Ravid Chaim, was delivered after the shooting but had suffered severe oxygen deprivation and died two weeks later.

Samara was eliminated on May 16 during an Israeli counter-terror operation in the Palestinian village of Bruqin.

According to the Ynet news outlet, he was shot after approaching troops while carrying a suspicious bag and shouting Allahu Akbar (“God is greatest” in Arabic).

“Over the past week, IDF soldiers worked to demolish six terrorist homes,” according to a military statement on Sunday evening.

Israel’s security establishment believes that the demolition of Palestinian terrorists’ homes bolsters deterrence and prevents further terrorist activity.

Palestinian terrorists targeted Israeli Jews in Judea and Samaria at least 6,343 times in 2024, according to the NGO Rescuers Without Borders (Hatzalah Judea and Samaria).

Twenty-seven Israelis were murdered in Judea and Samaria in 2024, and more than 300 others were wounded, the group said in its annual report.
