Israeli forces have launched an operation in the West Bank town of Qabatiya following a deadly ramming and stabbing attack in northern Israel. Reports indicate that elite military units are involved, with raids conducted at the assailant's home and his father taken into custody. Military bulldozers have established roadblocks, and troops are patrolling the streets, with snipers positioned on rooftops. The entrances to Qabatiya, home to around 25,000 residents, are reportedly being blocked as part of the ongoing operation.
