Brother of Bnei Brak terrorist arrested as security forces raid West Bank home – reports

Security services arrest the brother of the Palestinian terrorist who killed five people in Bnei Brak before being shot dead, Hebrew-language media reports.

The man is detained as IDF troops raid the West Bank home of gunman Diaa Hamarsheh, 26.

A number of other individuals are reportedly questioned as security services investigate whether the terrorist had any further accomplices.

As the soldiers converge on the home in Ya’bad near Jenin, a large crowd gathers, leading to clashes between the troops and locals, reports say.

There are no immediate reports of casualties.
