The Israel Defence Force and Shin Bet security service have launched multi-day counterterrorism operations in the West Bank following a deadly Hamas attack that killed IDF soldiers. Operations are focused on Hebron, with parallel activities in Jenin, Nablus, and east Jerusalem aimed at locating weapons caches and terrorist infrastructure.

According to IDF statements, the raid in Hebron is described as ‘focused and limited to the area from which the terrorists operated.’ Troops have razed structures described as ‘illegal’ that could pose security risks, though human rights activists have criticised the operations as collective punishment.

The Times of Israel and Jerusalem Post both report on the scale and scope of these operations, with sources confirming the multi-location nature of the security response. The operations represent a significant military response to the fatal attack on soldiers.
