Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Hebron on Friday following a severe shooting attack at the Yehuda Junction, announcing a new offensive model to be implemented in neighborhoods from which terrorists emerged. "We are going to implement the successful and aggressive model we used in the refugee camps, which are essentially terror strongholds," Netanyahu stated. He elaborated that this approach would be applied in Hebron, where residents would be evacuated, homes searched for weapons, and all terror infrastructure demolished. The Prime Minister also addressed the morning's attack, noting that enemies had attempted to harm Israelis and soldiers ahead of elections, but were thwarted by IDF soldiers who were injured in the process. He praised the soldiers for neutralizing the terrorists after a 20-minute firefight, during which five people were wounded, two critically. In addition to demolishing terror infrastructure, Netanyahu announced a full closure on Hebron and the village of Dhahiriya, with potential expansion of this model to other cities. He also pledged to accelerate the removal of illegal structures along roads that pose a threat to forces. Furthermore, Netanyahu revealed a large-scale operation planned for Judea and Samaria, described as the most extensive since the Six-Day War, with the IDF prepared to execute it at a time to be determined. Meanwhile, Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir held an urgent assessment meeting, revealing that the terrorists' vehicle contained a large quantity of ammunition intended for a more significant attack. Intelligence suggests the terrorists, armed with an M4 rifle and a pistol, planned to drive onto Route 35 towards central Israel but were stopped by an IDF checkpoint. Netanyahu concluded by commending Israeli settlers, stating, "You stand at the breach. You are a model for the people of Israel, you are a model for the State of Israel." He vowed to destroy terror infrastructure while simultaneously building up Israeli settlements, announcing plans for over 100 new settlements and farms. Zamir confirmed the Central Command's readiness for a full closure on Hebron and surrounding villages, ordering increased arrest efforts and security presence in the area.
