The Israeli military has lifted the siege it imposed on the city of Shechem (Nablus) in Judea and Samaria and is now moving to seal the home of the terrorist responsible for the recent attack in Havat Gilad, according to Israeli media reports. The operation follows the attack in the Israeli settlement of Havat Gilad, which occurred earlier this week. The IDF has been conducting counterterrorism operations in the Nablus area in recent weeks, including a previous operation in the Balata refugee camp. The sealing of the terrorist's home is a standard Israeli practice to deter future attacks. No further details on the timing or any resistance encountered have been reported.
