IDF troops from the Samaria Brigade sealed the home of the terrorist who carried out Friday's shooting near Havat Gilad, in which Maj. Yuval Ezra and Master Sgt. (res.) Benayahu Mellet were killed. The terrorist was killed immediately afterward by IDF troops in the village of Tell. The military said Central Command chief Maj. Gen. Avi Bluth signed a seizure and temporary sealing order for the home. Security forces intend to continue the formal legal process toward demolishing the house.
