The Israel Defense Forces stated that Israeli soldiers shot dead two men who were believed to have launched an attack on Friday morning, the 23rd, near the city of Hebron in the occupied West Bank. According to emergency teams, at least five people were injured, some in critical condition, and were evacuated to hospitals in Israel.
According to the military statement, after the attack roadblocks and movement restrictions were imposed in Palestinian towns in the region.
Rescuers reported that, when they arrived at the scene of the incident, near the junction known as Yehuda Junction, shooting was still underway.
The team said that two men in their twenties had gunshot injuries to their lower limbs; one of them was unconscious and gravely injured.
The episode comes just days before Israel’s elections, scheduled for Tuesday, October 27, 2026, when voters will decide whether Benjamin Netanyahu will win another term as prime minister or whether there will be a change in political leadership.
The vote takes place three years after the Hamas-led attacks on October 7, 2023, which sparked the war in Gaza. Source: Associated Press.
