Middle East: Israel launches "anti-terror operation" in the West Bank
In the evening, Israel's army is launching an "anti-terror operation" in the West Bank, according to its own information. This is a reaction to the attack that occurred in the morning. Elections are taking place in the country on Tuesday.
Israel has launched an anti-terror operation in the Hebron area of the West Bank, following an attack that killed two Israeli soldiers. The operation, involving the army, intelligence agency Shin Bet, border police, and civil administration, aims to uncover and dismantle terrorist infrastructure and weapons. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the security forces had prevented a "serious attack" and announced a potential closure of all crossings into the Palestinian territory, ahead of Tuesday's parliamentary election.
The army also reported demolishing illegal structures that posed a security threat, and said dozens of anti-terror operations were being conducted across the West Bank.
