Deadly shots at a checkpoint. Israel closes the West Bank

Israeli forces have begun searching for individuals who may have collaborated with attackers following a recent incident. The area has been secured and cordoned off. Reports indicate that the assailants fired for over 20 minutes, targeting soldiers near a checkpoint. The military found a significant amount of ammunition in the attackers' vehicle, suggesting plans for a larger assault. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu canceled campaign meetings in response, while National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called for the dismantling of the Palestinian Authority. Netanyahu also ordered a complete closure of the occupied West Bank, effective immediately, ahead of upcoming elections.
