Israel has sealed off a West Bank city and is demolishing houses that it claims were homes of terrorists

Israel began demolishing houses in Hebron, claiming they belonged to Palestinian militants after an attack that killed two soldiers. Prime Minister Netanyahu announced a complete lockdown of the West Bank, later reconsidering it to focus on Hebron and Halhul. The IDF launched an anti-terror operation in the area, targeting terrorist infrastructure and illegal structures. Human rights group B'Tselem condemned the forced displacement of Palestinian residents. The IDF reported finding a vehicle used in the attack, loaded with ammunition intended for a larger assault.
