The IDF demolished a monument near Nablus that MK Zvi Sukkot had damaged in August, as part of a counterterrorism operation in the West Bank. The operation, launched Monday night, targeted wanted suspects, weapons, and monuments commemorating terrorists. The monument in the village of Madama appeared to honor members of the al-Aqsa brigade and Palestinians killed in the intifada. Sukkot had defended his August actions, saying he appealed to the IDF to remove monuments glorifying terrorists. The IDF condemned the incident at the time, saying Sukkot acted without authorization. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Yashar leader Gadi Eisenkot, and B'Yachad leader Naftali Bennett all criticized Sukkot's actions. The village council head warned the incident could fuel violence.
