The IDF is taking more steps to punish families of terrorists who collaborate with the offenders, and that includes destroying their homes:

Israel Defense Forces engineers on Tuesday surveyed the homes of two Palestinian terrorists who carried out a deadly shooting attack in Jerusalem the day before, to prepare for demolition.

The two gunmen, Mohammad Taha, 21, from Qatanna, and Muthanna Amro, 20, from Qubeiba, murdered six people and wounded over a dozen others at Ramot Intersection in the capital before they were killed by an off-duty soldier and armed civilians.

As a matter of policy, Israel demolishes the homes of Palestinians accused of carrying out deadly terror attacks, saying the measure is intended as a deterrent. [...]

Katz said 750 work and entry permits to Israel would be revoked. Immediate family members of Palestinians accused of terror are barred from working in Israel as a matter of policy, but it is rarer for Israeli authorities to revoke work permits of more distant relatives.

Israeli officials have said the policy is intended to dissuade Palestinians from planning terror attacks, as doing so will harm their extended families’ livelihood. Critics have called it collective punishment.

Katz also said he ordered the demolition of “any illegal structures in the villages,” though it’s unclear what the practical implications would be. Both villages lie in Area B of the West Bank, where Israel has no authority over civil matters such as issuing building permits.

Umm, I don't think the Times of Israel should be lecturing where and how the IDF should be enacting punishment against offenders, because the PLO's been harboring them, and cannot be allowed to continue doing so. Any jihadists whose homes are destroyed are getting a punishment they deserve.
