Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced during a visit to Hebron that security forces will begin implementing a new model in urban neighborhoods from which terrorists have emerged, mirroring operations previously conducted in refugee camps. This plan involves the IDF imposing a closure on Hebron and Dura, evacuating residents from the area, entering homes to collect weapons, and destroying terrorist infrastructure. The possibility of expanding these operations to other cities is also being considered, alongside accelerating the demolition of illegal structures near main roads.
Netanyahu addressed a recent security incident, stating that the security establishment had prior intelligence about the enemy's intention to carry out attacks against civilians and soldiers ahead of elections. He credited IDF soldiers for thwarting these attempts, fighting, eliminating the terrorists, and sustaining casualties during the clashes. The Prime Minister emphasized the current objective is to dismantle the sites of terrorist activity and alter the reality on the ground.
Furthermore, Netanyahu revealed that he and the Defense Minister have reviewed preparations for extensive military operations in Judea and Samaria, on a scale not seen since the Six-Day War. He affirmed that the IDF is prepared for such an action, with the timing to be determined later. Addressing residents of settlements, Netanyahu praised their resilience and declared that alongside dismantling terrorist infrastructure, the state will continue to develop settlements, citing the establishment of over 100 new communities and more than 100 farms.
