    Faroh, a resident of a neighborhood in east Jerusalem, was described by the Israeli authorities as a lone attacker driven by ideology akin to that of Islamic State, and was arrested last week after a prolonged manhunt.
    The IDF said their mapping was in preparation of a demolition of the building, should authorities decide to take such action.
