IDF demolishes home of killer of Duvdevan soldier

IDF soldiers demolished a four-story building Friday night belonging to the family of Islam Abu Hamid, the Palestinian who killed Staff Sergeant Ronen Lubarsky when he dropped a marble slab on his head during an operation in the Al-Omari refugee camp last May.

The IDF said violent riots erupted when Palestinians threw stones at IDF forces who employed riot control means to disperse them.

Forces from the “Duvdevan” unit in which Lubarsky served and who were also involved in locating and capturing Abu Hamid in June were involved in Friday night’s operation, the IDF said.
