Israel Launches West Bank Operation After Attack Kills Two Soldiers Near Hebron
Following a deadly attack by two Palestinian gunmen that killed two Israeli soldiers and wounded three near Hebron in the West Bank, Israel launched a multi-day military operation involving house-to-house searches, demolitions, and resident evacuations. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered a lockdown of the West Bank and vowed a large-scale offensive similar to past operations that displaced thousands. The operation, occurring days before Israeli elections, has drawn criticism from Palestinian groups and human rights organizations, while Israeli officials emphasize counterterrorism objectives.
