The Israeli military says it has demolished the home of a Palestinian who it alleges served as an accomplice to a deadly attack earlier this year. The military says the home of Bilal Abu Zeid in the West Bank village of Qabatiya was demolished early Monday. Abu Zeid is alleged to have been involved in an attack in Jerusalem in February that killed an Israeli paramilitary police officer. The military did not disclose what role Abu Zeid allegedly played in the attack. The military says clashes erupted as it was carrying out the demolition and that Palestinians opened fire and lobbed explosives. The military responded with live fire. The Palestinian Health Ministry says five people were wounded, one seriously. Meanwhile, Israel's military on Sunday fired two Patriot missiles at a drone that "infiltrated" from war-ravaged neighboring Syria, it said. The missiles missed the drone which "returned to Syria" after the incident in the central Golan Heights, where the demarcation line between the two countries is located, the military said. "Moments ago two Patriot air defense missiles were fired toward a drone which infiltrated Israeli airspace from Syria," the military said in a statement on Sunday evening. Sirens sounded in the area. While Israel has sought to avoid being dragged into Syria's five-year civil war, it has attacked Syrian military targets when fire from the conflict spills over into its territory. Earlier this month, the Israeli army attacked two Syrian military targets on the Golan after stray fire damaged the security fence along the line. In September 2014, Israel used a Patriot missile to shoot down a Syrian warplane it said had crossed the UN-patrolled ceasefire line on the Golan which it regards as its international border. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also acknowledged in April that Israel had attacked dozens of convoys transporting weapons in Syria destined for its enemy Hezbollah, the Lebanese Shiite militia. Israel seized 1,200 square km (460 square miles) of the Golan Heights from Syria in 1967 and later annexed it in a move never recognized by the international community.
