Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has instructed the Israel Defense Forces and security forces to "immediately blockade" the city of Hebron, following a situational assessment with officials including the head of the Shin Bet and the commander of the Central Command. He added in a post on X that they have been instructed to prepare for a "complete blockade" of the occupied West Bank starting today. This follows a shooting incident at the northern entrance to Hebron in the West Bank, which resulted in the deaths of two Palestinians and injuries to six Israeli soldiers.
