Corroborated · Farsh al-Hawa, Palestine ·
Israeli forces demolished several Palestinian buildings near the entrance to Hebron in the Farsh al-Hawa area on Friday 23 October, after a shooting attack there that Middle East Eye says killed two Israeli soldiers. The IDF says it demolished a building adjacent to the attack site that the attackers used to hide and monitor the checkpoint, and Channel 12 reports Smotrich ordered demolitions around the entrance. Wafa reports a tile factory and shops were levelled along with about seven dunams of land, Al Jazeera reports bulldozers demolished homes and businesses in northern Hebron, and Tasnim reports residential homes were demolished in the afternoon, with the number and type of buildings varying by source.

Details by origin
Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
