(Updated Sunday 11AM) IDF troops leveled three homes last night in the Balata neighborhood, near Shechem, belonging to the families of Arab suicide bombers. Two of the homes destroyed were owned by family members of Khaled Sawalfa, who carried out an attack in Kfar Saba earlier this month that left two Argentinian immigrants dead. The third structure demolished belonged to the family of Muhammad Akala, one of the suicide bombers who detonated his explosives near the old central bus station in Tel Aviv on Tisha B'Av this past July, killing five.



Before dawn this morning, IDF helicopters fired missiles at a metals workshop near the Gaza city of Khan Yunis. The workshop was being used to produce mortar shells and rockets. No injuries were reported in the incident.
