Palestinian media report the Israeli military is operating in force in the Qalqilya area following yesterday’s West Bank terror attack near Kedumim.
The reports say troops have entered the village of Baqat al-Hatab in the central West Bank, possibly searching for the man who killed an Israeli civilian security guard with a hammer at the Bar-On industrial park before fleeing the scene.
There is no immediate comment from the army.
