IDF Home Front Command Major-General Uri Gordon signed the order directing the mapping and demolition of the structure.

Shahidam carried out the shooting attack on November 21, 2021 that killed 26-year-old South African immigrant Eliyahu Kay near the Chain Gate entrance to the Old City of Jerusalem.

Kay, a veteran of the IDF Paratroop Brigade and an employee of the Western Wall Heritage Foundation, was on his way to work as a guide at the Western Wall when he was shot and killed by the Hamas terrorist.

The tour guide was also a yeshiva student who was learning in Kiryat Gat and was engaged to be married in just a few months when he was killed.

Four other people were wounded in the attack as well, including 26-year-old Rabbi Aharon Emergreen, and 26-year-old Rabbi Ze’ev Katzenelbogen. Both rabbis are married; the latter is a father of eight. In addition, two Israeli Border Guard Police officers were injured as well.
