Israel begins "anti-terror operation" in the West Bank
Following an attack that killed two Israeli soldiers, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced an "anti-terror operation" in the West Bank. Israeli forces are searching for terrorist infrastructure in Hebron and have begun demolishing structures deemed a security threat. The operation is expected to last several days. The attack involved two assailants who opened fire on soldiers at a checkpoint, leading to their deaths and injuries to others. Netanyahu hinted at a complete lockdown of Palestinian territories and a military offensive not seen since the Six-Day War. The West Bank has been under Israeli occupation since 1967, with ongoing tensions between settlers and Palestinians.
