The IDF, special operations forces and Shin Bet intelligence services sealed off all the entrances and exits to the village of Khobar on Saturday, home to 19-year-old Omar al-Abed, the terrorist who murdered three members of a Jewish family on Friday night as they celebrated the birth of a new grandson.
Checkpoints were established at the entrances to Khobar, with passage allowed only for humanitarian purposes.
