Israeli Army Orders Demolition of Home of Gunman Behind Deadly Bus Attack

Jerusalem, 31 August, 2025 (TPS-IL) — The Israel Defense Forces ordered the demolition of the home of the Palestinian terrorist responsible for a deadly shooting attack in December 2024.

Thabet Mohammed Masalmeh, who lived in the Gush Etzion region south of Jerusalem, fired on a bus, killing 12-year-old Yehoshua Aharon Tuvia Simha and injuring three others near the community of Beitar Illit.

The home of another terrorist involved in that attack, Ezz al-Din Maluh, was demolished in June.
