During the raid one terrorist was killed.

A second Palestinian terrorist connected to the attack was arrested, and a manhunt for a third suspect was ongoing. All further details were placed under a gag order, including the identity of those injured.

Palestinian media reported that dozens of IDF vehicles entered the city and confiscated security cameras at gas stations.

Minutes later, heavy gunfire was heard as the IDF operation started.

Reports indicate hundreds of locals gathered and threw stones at soldiers, requiring a riot-control response. There are also reports IDF bulldozers destroyed a building in the city.

According to the Jerusalem Post, at least one Israeli was injured and was evacuated. His condition was unknown.

As reported on YWN, Rabbi Shevach was a father of 6, a Talmid Chochom, a Mohel, a Shochet, a member of the Chevra Kaddisha, a Magid Shiur, and a volunteer at MDA.

He is survived by his wife, Yael, and their six children: Renana, 10, Naomi, 8, Miriam, 6, Malka, 5, Ovadia, 3, and Benayahu, only 10 months old.
