Israeli occupation forces launched a military operation in Hebron at dawn on Saturday, including a comprehensive closure, incursions, and raids on citizens' homes, following a shooting on Friday that resulted in the killing of two Israeli soldiers and the injury of three others.

Israeli occupation forces launched a large-scale military operation in the city of Hebron, south of the West Bank, at dawn on Saturday, which included a complete closure of the city's entrances and roads leading to it, as well as incursions and raids on citizens' homes. This operation comes after a shooting incident that occurred on Friday, resulting in the killing of two Israeli soldiers and the injury of three others. The occupation army and the General Security Service (Shin Bet) announced the start of the operation on Friday evening, indicating that it may continue for several days. The operation, according to a joint statement by the army and Shin Bet, includes search and raid campaigns for weapons and "terrorist infrastructure," in addition to "interrogating" dozens of Palestinians. The Hebron governorate, including the city, its towns, and camps, witnessed a comprehensive closure, while universities and schools announced the suspension of classes, and the Transport and Communications Union issued a statement suspending vehicle movement to ensure the safety of citizens from the dangers posed by military checkpoints.
