The Palestinian militant group Hamas has officially claimed responsibility for a recent armed attack near Hebron, describing the incident as a planned operation. Hamas stated that the two assailants involved were killed by Israeli forces during a firefight. The group's statement, reported by Arab media citing official Hamas channels, also offered condolences to the families of the deceased militants.
Hamas characterized the attack as a direct continuation of its ongoing confrontation with Israel and a legitimate response to security operations in Judea and Samaria, as well as the general situation in the Palestinian territories. The organization warned that similar incidents would continue, asserting its intention to persist in armed struggle until Israeli structures are removed from the region and control over holy sites is established. Hamas leadership affirmed its resolve to continue its chosen path despite personnel losses.
Following the incident, Israeli security forces increased patrols around Hebron, implementing additional transport control measures and conducting checks at the exits of Palestinian villages. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and police are investigating the preparation of the attack, seeking to determine if the perpetrators acted on direct orders or on their own initiative.
The situation in the Hebron area has been tense for months, with frequent clashes between local Arab populations, Jewish residents, and IDF soldiers. The IDF has placed units in the Central Command on high alert to prevent further incidents. The attack involved shooting at Israeli vehicles on the road between the Yehuda Junction and Hebron, resulting in five injuries, two of them critical. The assailants were neutralized at the scene, after which security forces blocked village entrances and closed sections of Highway 60 to search for potential accomplices.
