Israel imposed a lockdown on the West Bank following a shooting in Hebron that killed two Israeli soldiers. The incident has led to heightened security measures and potential military operations.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a military operation in the West Bank, vowing to destroy infrastructure and displace residents. Far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called for demolitions near the attack site, citing a need to 'dismantle the Palestinian Authority'.
The Israeli government has faced criticism for its approach, with human rights groups warning of potential war crimes. The move comes amid upcoming elections and heightened tensions in the region.
The Israeli military confirmed the shooting, with two attackers killed and three injured. The incident has sparked debates over the use of collective punishment and the impact on Palestinian civilians.
