The IDF says combat engineers, commandos of the Duvdevan unit, and other reservists operated in Qalandiya overnight to map out the home. Israel regularly destroys the homes of Palestinians accused of carrying out deadly terror attacks. At the home, the IDF says troops found a handgun belonging to Manasra.
