Following a deadly shooting attack at the Yehuda Junction that claimed the lives of two IDF soldiers, security forces launched a large-scale operation in Hebron's western neighborhoods. The operation, focused on areas from which the attackers emerged, involved the temporary evacuation of residents and extensive searches. The IDF is preparing for a situation assessment to determine if the operation will be expanded.
The operation commenced after the Friday attack, which killed Sergeant Major Ron Yonos Roitman and Sergeant Yuval Shai Suilam. Security forces are concentrating their efforts in the Ein Dir-Baha neighborhood and its surroundings, including residential buildings and homes linked to the terrorists' families, identified as Hamuda and Firas al-Jaaba. The IDF and Civil Administration are also demolishing structures and infrastructure built illegally in the area of the attack, near Hebron's northern entrance.
Units participating in the operation include Duvdevan, Maglan, Paratroopers, the Givati Brigade's reserve reconnaissance unit (6261), and the Judea and Samaria Border Police, operating under the command of the Yehuda Brigade and with intelligence from the Shin Bet. So far, forces have searched approximately 200 buildings and sites, finding no weapons or terror-related findings, and have arrested ten suspects.
IDF Central Command officials stated that the two terrorists who carried out the attack originated from the Ein Dir-Baha neighborhood in western Hebron. Security forces are focusing their activities in this neighborhood and its vicinity, including homes connected to the terrorists' families. An operational situation assessment is scheduled for later today to evaluate the operation's results and decide on potential expansion to other areas. Searches, arrests, and infrastructure treatment continue in the active zones.
