After an attack in the West Bank, Benjamin Netanyahu cancels Likud electoral events ahead of the elections in Israel

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu canceled Likud electoral events following a shooting attack near Hebron that injured five. He announced a total lockdown of the West Bank and the military killed two Palestinians identified as attackers. This comes just days before the Israeli elections on October 27. National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir called for the dismantling of the Palestinian Authority, warning of potential future conflicts. Since the Hamas attack on October 7, violence has surged in the West Bank, with over 1,113 Palestinians reported killed, primarily by Israeli forces, while at least 49 Israelis have died during the same period.
