Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Friday that he has ordered the IDF and security forces to impose an immediate lockdown on Hebron and a full closure on all of Judea and Samaria, effective immediately. The directive follows a severe shooting attack near the Yehuda Junction in the Hebron area earlier that morning.

The attack resulted in four casualties: two critically wounded, one moderately, and one lightly injured. The two assailants were neutralized at the scene by security forces. During searches, a significant quantity of ammunition was discovered in their vehicle. According to Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, the swift actions of the soldiers prevented a potentially more serious attack.

Netanyahu praised the soldiers involved and wished a speedy recovery to the injured. He emphasized that security forces are operating with reinforced personnel and conducting widespread arrest campaigns to thwart further terrorist activities.

"We will pursue the Hamas terrorists and their dispatchers anywhere and anytime. You have no hiding place," Netanyahu declared, vowing to hunt down those responsible for the violence.
