According to the report, the forces entered Kalkilya to look for Israeli citizens who entered Kalkilya in the morning, and their current whereabouts are unknown. They likely entered Kalkilya to get their car fixed at a mechanic, and the reason for their disappearance is still unknown.
No injuries were reported by the security forces, who have since left the city, and the efforts to locate the Israelis are being continued with intelligence measures.
About two months ago, Amnon Mokhtar, a resident of Petah Tikva, was killed when he drove into the center of Kalkilya. He was shot on the main street, and his vehicle was subsequently set on fire.
Shortly after that incident, two Islamic Jihad militants, Iyad Abu Hamed, and Ahmed Al-Salami, were killed by the IDF while traveling in a vehicle in central Kalkilya as part of an anti-terror operation.
