The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have launched a large-scale counter-terrorism operation in the Hebron area following a deadly attack that killed two soldiers. The operation, codenamed "Lion of Judah" (Sha'agat Yehuda), is being conducted by the Yehuda territorial brigade and involves IDF soldiers, Shin Bet agents, and Border Police officers in Judea and Samaria. The operation targets the area from which two terrorists, who were killed in a shootout earlier on Friday, originated. In addition to the two soldiers killed, several others were wounded in the initial incident. Security forces are conducting thorough searches for terrorist infrastructure and weapons and are questioning dozens of suspects. The operation is focused on the terrorists' operational area and is expected to last several days. Local residents are permitted to leave the operational zone through three designated checkpoints after undergoing questioning and security checks. Suspicious individuals will be handed over to security services for further interrogation. This operation is part of a broader series of counter-terrorism measures initiated Friday morning, including plans to demolish terrorists' homes, block off areas of Hebron and Halhul, close roads, and conduct raids in local villages. Security forces are also undertaking engineering work, such as demolishing illegal structures that could pose a security risk near the site of the shootout. According to preliminary findings from the IDF's investigation, the two terrorists who attacked a military checkpoint in Hebron may have intended to proceed to Route 35 to attack Israeli civilians using the road.
