Israeli Forces Launch Counter-Terror Operation in Hebron
Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

Israeli security forces, including the IDF, Shin Bet, and Border Police, have launched a counter-terrorism operation in the Hebron area. The operation is focused on the specific location from which two terrorists emerged earlier today, who were killed in an exchange of fire that resulted in the deaths of two IDF soldiers and injuries to others.

Forces are conducting thorough searches of infrastructure in the area to locate and neutralize terror elements and weapons, and are interrogating dozens of suspects. The operation is confined to the area where the terrorists operated and is expected to last several days.

Residents in the operational zone will be permitted to leave through designated points after security checks and interrogations. Anyone raising suspicion during these checks will be taken for further questioning.

This operation is a direct continuation of earlier counter-terrorism actions taken today, including mapping terrorists' homes, imposing a cordon on the Hebron and Halhul areas, and carrying out blocking and counter-terrorism activities in surrounding villages. Security forces are also working to remove illegal infrastructure posing security risks.

Throughout Judea and Samaria, security forces are active in numerous locations to thwart terrorism and will continue to operate proactively to protect Israeli citizens and neutralize threats.
