- On Friday, two suspected gunmen opened fire near Hebron's Judea Junction, wounding five people before Israel Defense Forces soldiers killed the attackers during a prolonged shootout.

- Magen David Adom emergency responders evacuated five victims to Shaare Zedek Medical Center while describing an intense firefight that lasted more than 20 minutes as soldiers engaged the gunmen.
- Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called for dismantling the Palestinian Authority, arguing that "the lives of the soldiers, the police officers, the lives of our fighters are a million times more important than freedom of movement."
- The military remains on high alert following the attack, which Hamas described as an "exceptional heroic operation" without claiming direct responsibility, amid heightened tensions before next Tuesday's vote.
