Story summary

On October 23, 2026, Israeli soldiers shot and killed two men near Hebron in the West Bank, accusing them of launching an attack that injured five people. In response, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered a full closure of the city of Hebron and prepared for a complete lockdown of all of Judea and Samaria, starting on the same day. This decision came as Israeli forces were already on high alert ahead of national elections scheduled for October 27, where security has been a primary campaign issue. The military launched an extensive operation in the West Bank that included searches and building demolitions to locate and dismantle what they described as terrorist infrastructure. Netanyahu visited the attack site with his right-wing allies to promise tougher measures against militants in the occupied territories.
