Israeli security forces thwarted a significant terrorist attack planned for central Israel by neutralizing two terrorists who departed from Hebron armed with an M4 rifle, a pistol, and a large quantity of ammunition. The terrorists were stopped at a temporary checkpoint manned by soldiers from a new Home Front Command battalion, the Ari Battalion, at the Yehuda Junction. They had intended to travel via Route 35 towards central Israel to carry out a major attack on civilians. The ensuing firefight lasted over 20 minutes at close range, with the terrorists exiting their vehicle to engage the soldiers. Numerous security forces were called to the scene to assist in the battle until the two attackers were neutralized. Security officials believe the soldiers' actions prevented a much more severe attack. Following the incident, a full closure was imposed on Hebron, the terrorists' point of origin, to prevent copycat attacks. The closure was extended to the Hahlul area, and authorities were ordered to map the terrorists' homes. This operation marks the Ari Battalion's first operational deployment in the West Bank.
