Story summary

On October 23, 2026, Israeli soldiers shot and killed two Palestinian men near Hebron in the West Bank after they allegedly launched an attack, injuring five others critically. In response, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the immediate closure of Hebron city and preparation for a full lockdown of the entire West Bank starting that day. The siege continued for 10 days until November 2, when Israeli forces withdrew from Hebron following negotiations with Palestinian security forces. During this period, almost 5,000 people were displaced due to the military operations, causing significant economic damage exceeding $3.8 million daily.
