The operations were carried out as "a result of the Palestinian Authority's failure to take any action against terrorism," said Major Sharon Feingold, an army spokeswoman.
On Friday, Israeli troops blew up a house in the village of Rantis, north of Ramallah, that belonged to Ihab Abu Isleem, a Hamas member who killed eight soldiers in a Sept. 9 bombing at a bus stop near Tel Aviv.
Soldiers also demolished a house in the West Bank town of Jenin belonging to the family of Shadi al-Tubasi, who blew himself up at a cafe in the city of Haifa in March 2002, killing 15 Israelis. Israel troops regularly demolish the homes of suicide bombers to discourage others.
In other developments, a Jewish settler was charged with weapons theft on Friday, and prosecutors said he was procuring arms for Jewish militants suspected of killing eight Palestinians.
