Israeli military forces operating in Hebron discovered a hidden underground shaft near the residence of a militant involved in a recent armed confrontation. The shaft was found during Operation "Rik Yehuda," a large-scale anti-terrorism effort involving searches of over 500 sites, launched after a deadly clash on Friday, October 23. That confrontation resulted in the deaths of Senior Sergeant Ron Yonahtan Roitman and Sergeant Yuval Shai Suilem, with three other soldiers sustaining minor injuries.
Preliminary assessments indicate the shaft, approximately 15 meters deep and 75 centimeters wide, has no exit opening. Specialized teams are continuing to examine the structure. The IDF emphasized that the shaft is located within the city of Hebron itself, far from any Israeli settlements.
An electronic device was recovered from the shaft and has been handed over to security forces for further analysis. The operation, which began after the October 23 incident, is ongoing.
