The Israeli military launched a large-scale operation in the West Bank city of Hebron on Friday night, which is expected to last several days. The operation follows a shooting attack that killed two Israeli soldiers and wounded three others. The two perpetrators of the attack were also killed.
According to a joint statement from the Israeli military and the Shin Bet security agency, the operation involves extensive searches of infrastructure in the area to uncover and neutralize "terrorist infrastructure" and weapons. Dozens of suspects are reportedly being interrogated. Israeli forces have evacuated Palestinians from their homes in several neighborhoods as part of the operation, particularly in the Al-Jaladah area.
The military stated that the operation is a direct continuation of offensive actions that began Friday morning, including identifying and mapping homes, imposing security cordons around Hebron and the town of Halhul, closing roads, and conducting raids in surrounding villages. The operation also aims to reshape the security reality by removing illegal infrastructure deemed a security risk.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz visited the site of the shooting attack and announced their government's intention to implement an "offensive camp model." This involves evacuating residents from residential areas, raiding and searching homes, and destroying what they described as "terrorist infrastructure." They also indicated readiness for a broader military operation in the West Bank.
Palestinian security sources reported that Israeli forces, reinforced with vehicles and bulldozers, raided multiple areas in Hebron, including Deir Baha, Al-Jaladah roundabout, and Namra, searching homes. The Hebron Governorate, including its cities, towns, and refugee camps, was placed under a complete lockdown. Universities and schools were closed on Saturday, and the transportation union announced a halt to vehicle movement to protect citizens from danger at Israeli checkpoints, which were set up as collective punishment.
