Following a shooting incident near Hebron, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the immediate closure of the city and preparations for a complete lockdown of Judea and Samaria. The decision was made after a situation assessment with Israeli security chiefs, as reported by "The Times of Israel." The meeting included Defense Minister Katz, IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, Shin Bet head David Zini, National Security Advisor Shmuel Ben Ezra, and IDF Central Command chief Avi Bluth.
Netanyahu stated that Israeli forces have intensified operations against terrorist activities, conducting large-scale arrests. He emphasized the government's intent to pursue Hamas members and those responsible for attacks, regardless of their location, declaring, "You have no safe haven." The complete isolation of Judea and Samaria is being considered as a measure requiring preparation.
These measures are being taken in response to the Hebron incident. Previously, Judea and Samaria and the Gaza Strip were scheduled for closure on Monday and Tuesday due to the Israeli elections, as part of security measures for the voting period.
Earlier reports indicated that the elimination of two militants by the IDF Chief of Staff had prevented a larger-scale attack.
