Eight new outposts have begun to be established in the Mount Hebron region, with the approval of the IDF and under the leadership of the Hebron Council and Minister Bezalel Smotrich. This initiative follows a severe terror attack at the Yehuda Junction, where IDF soldiers Sergeant Major Ron Yonatan Reitman and Sergeant Yuval Shai Suilam were killed. The establishment includes six farms, with two additional settlements expected to be created.
Minister Smotrich stated, "We are continuing the settlement revolution, which includes steps of 'doing good', approving settlements and farms, and fortifying and strengthening the settlement enterprise." The decision was made in coordination with the IDF and security forces.
The initial investigation into the shooting attack near Hebron revealed that the two terrorists, identified as relatives from the Ju'aba family in Hebron, associated with Hamas, were likely en route to carry out a larger attack. They were stopped at a routine military checkpoint by soldiers from the "Ari" battalion of the Home Front Command. A firefight ensued for approximately 20 minutes, during which three other IDF soldiers were lightly wounded and evacuated to Jerusalem hospitals. The two terrorists were eventually eliminated by the deputy battalion commander and company commander.
During the exchange of fire, a large amount of ammunition was found in the terrorists' vehicle, along with a long rifle and a pistol. The IDF is also examining the possibility of external direction for the attack, noting that there was no precise prior warning. A curfew has been imposed on several villages in the area.
