Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called for the dismantling and disarmament of the Palestinian Authority following a shooting attack near Hebron. Ben-Gvir warned that Israel must not wait for another October 7th-style attack to originate from the West Bank, urging preemptive action to eliminate what he described as "terrorist infrastructure."
The minister's remarks came after a Friday morning shooting incident near the Yitzhar junction on Route 35 in the Hebron area. Israeli sources reported that several soldiers were injured, some critically, before the Israeli military announced the two assailants were killed.
In response to the attack, the Israeli military increased its presence in the region, implementing security measures that included road closures, checkpoints, and searches in villages surrounding the area. Ben-Gvir seized upon the incident to reiterate his demands for dismantling the Palestinian Authority and disarming it, warning of a new attack similar to those of October 7, 2023, and advocating for proactive steps in the West Bank.
These statements emerge amid ongoing Israeli military operations in the West Bank and escalating tensions in the Hebron Governorate, which has recently experienced increased incursions and stringent security measures.
