Israeli troops demolished the home of a Palestinian accused of the May killing of a soldier on Saturday, completing a night-long incursion into the Palestinian-controlled city of Ramallah.
The raid on the West Bank city where Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas has his headquarters comes as Israeli forces search for the perpetrator of a Thursday shooting that killed two Israeli soldiers. The incursion late Friday triggered clashes with angry residents following a week of rising tensions.
Both Army and border police units took part in the operation, including members of the commando unit in which the soldier was serving.
