IDF surrounds Nablus home of Ariel terrorist’s father

An update on IDF operations in Nablus:

Israeli troops are surrounding two buildings in the Palestinian city as part of a manhunt after terrorist Abed al-Karim Assi, who stabbed to death an Israeli yesterday, the Palestinian news outlet Ma’an reports.

One of the buildings is the home of Assi’s father. The other belongs to a friend of the family, according to Ma’an.

Other Palestinian media outlets report that some low-level clashes between residents and soldiers broke out in the area near where the army is operating. Two Palestinian youths are said to be injured.

The IDF says it cannot immediately verify the reports.
