According to Palestinian media, overnight the IDF arrested dozens of Palestinians in the village of Beit Omar, north of Hebron, from which one of the perpetrators of yesterday’s deadly attack in Gush Etzion came.

The terrorist, who was killed yesterday after murdering an Israeli in the attack at the Gush Junction Junction, has been named as Walid Sabarneh from Beit Omar. It was reported yesterday that the IDF had arrested his mother and sealed the family home, apparently ahead of its demolition.

The second attacker has been identified as Imran al-Atrash from Hebron.
