The Israeli military announced Friday morning that it had imposed a security cordon on several villages in the Hebron area following an attack at the "Judah Junction" intersection. The attack resulted in five injuries, two of them critical and three moderate, with the wounded transported to Shaare Zedek Medical Center and Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital. Hebrew media sources reported that a gun battle between the two assailants, whom the Israeli military declared killed, lasted for approximately 20 minutes.

According to the Palestinian news agency Wafa, Israeli occupation forces fired live ammunition at two young men near the northern entrance to Hebron on Friday. Eyewitnesses told Wafa that Israeli forces stationed at the "Farsh Al-Hawa" checkpoint at the northern entrance to Hebron shot the two young men, causing them to fall to the ground. Initial reports indicated they were killed, but their identities were unknown. Large numbers of Israeli soldiers deployed to the scene, completely sealing off the area and restricting civilian movement.
