The IDF and Shin Bet announced late Friday night the commencement of a multi-day operation in Hebron following a fatal terror attack at the Yehuda junction. The operation, which began shortly before midnight, aims to thwart terrorism originating from the area where the two assailants were from. The forces are set to scan dozens of targets, including those linked to the family of the attackers.

According to a joint statement, the operation involves the IDF, Shin Bet, Border Police in Judea and Samaria, and the Judea Regional Brigade. "IDF, Shin Bet, Border Police in Judea and Samaria, and the Judea Regional Brigade have launched an operation to thwart terrorism in the Hebron area, from which the two terrorists who were eliminated in the encounter where two IDF soldiers fell and others were injured, emerged," the statement read.

Forces are conducting thorough searches of all infrastructure in the area to locate and neutralize terror infrastructure and weapons, and are interrogating dozens of suspects. Residents in the operational zone will be allowed to leave through three designated points after security checks. Anyone deemed suspicious during these checks will be taken for further interrogation.

The operation is a direct continuation of earlier counter-terrorism actions taken since Friday morning, including mapping the terrorists' homes, imposing a closure on the Hebron and Halhul areas, and carrying out blocking and counter-terrorism activities in villages in the sector. Security forces are operating across dozens of targets throughout Judea and Samaria, continuing proactive operations to defend Israeli civilians and neutralize threats.
