Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the IDF and security forces to immediately impose a security cordon on Hebron and prepare to seal off the entire West Bank starting today. The directive follows a morning shooting attack near Halhul, at the Judah junction, which injured six people. Two of the victims are in critical condition, while the other three sustained moderate to mild injuries. Security forces eliminated the two attackers at the scene. One of the assailants was reportedly affiliated with Hamas, according to our correspondent for Palestinian affairs, Hassan Abu Zayed. Following the incident, Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir, who visited the scene, called for the dismantling of the Palestinian Authority, accusing it of inciting murder and terrorism.

Ben-Gvir stated, "It is impossible for a terror authority to exist alongside the State of Israel. We must dismantle the Palestinian Authority."
