Israeli forces have demolished the home of the terrorist behind the deadly Sept. 8 shooting at Jerusalem’s Ramot Junction, the Israel Defense Forces announced on Saturday night. The home was located in the village of Al-Qubeiba near Ramallah.

The terrorist, Muthanna Amro, was killed during the Sept. 8 attack by a member of the IDF’s ultra-Orthodox Hasmonean Brigade.

The Hamas terrorist group claimed responsibility for the shooting, praising Amro and his accomplice, Mohammad Taha, for having succeeded in “killing Zionists and wounding others, some of them critically, before ascending to their Lord as martyrs, facing the enemy without turning back.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met on Sept. 18 with Sergeant S., the soldier who, together with an armed civilian, killed the terrorists, at his office in Jerusalem.

“You did a great thing and saved many people,” Netanyahu said. “I want to thank you on behalf of the government of Israel, the State of Israel and the people of Israel. Well done—you prevented a very great disaster.”
