<p>More than 2,500 residents of Hebron have so far been evacuated from their homes as part of the IDF's ongoing operation against terrorist infrastructure in the city following Friday's shooting attack.</p><p>IDF forces continue to operate in Hebron as the operation remains underway.</p>
The IDF is seeking to classify a recent incident in Hebron as an encounter between soldiers and terrorists, rather than a terrorist attack, in an effort to avoid criticism over the advance preparations of the Judea Regional Brigade. The military asserts that their response prevented a larger attack, but the investigation is ongoing to determine the involvement of the terrorist network. Several Palestinians have been arrested in connection with the incident, and the IDF continues to search for any terrorist infrastructure.
