Israeli forces on Wednesday demolished a home northwest of Jerusalem linked to Qadri Samara, the detained suspect in the shooting that killed Netanel Shakron at the Ein Riya spring last month.
Israeli forces on Wednesday, October 7, demolished a home northwest of Jerusalem associated with Qadri Samara, the detained Palestinian whom Israeli authorities link to the shooting that killed Netanel Shakron at the Ein Riya spring near Neve Tzuf last month.
What the IDF said
The IDF said troops demolished the home where the perpetrator of the shooting attack near Neve Tzuf had lived, in the Biddu area northwest of Jerusalem.
The Palestinian Jerusalem governorate said residents of nearby homes were evacuated before the house was destroyed.
The shooting at Ein Riya
Netanel Shakron, a father of six from Alei Zahav, was shot dead at the Ein Riya spring outside Neve Tzuf in Judea and Samaria, where he had gone with his son. Israel News Pulse reported on the attack and the hunt for the gunman on the day it happened.
The suspected gunman was later captured at a hospital in Ramallah.
Samara's legal status
Israeli authorities link Samara to the fatal shooting, and the IDF statement refers to the man who lived in the home as the perpetrator. No indictment, demolition order, court petition or ruling in the case has been made public, and Samara remains in Israeli custody as a suspect in the killing.
