Israel presses ahead with West Bank army operation days before election
- On Sunday, the Israeli military continued a massive operation in the West Bank, sealing entrances to Hebron and restricting movement following a fatal gun attack on Friday that killed two Israeli soldiers.
- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed a forceful response to the attack, facing pressure to bolster security credentials ahead of Tuesday's tense national election.
- Hebron municipal officials reported the operation displaced more than 2,200 people from nearly 500 apartments in Deir Bahha, while troops are "conducting precise, targeted and thorough searches" in the area.
- The blockade has shuttered businesses and mosques, with crossings closed until after the election, forcing residents like Shadi al-Qawasmi to navigate checkpoints on foot for essential needs.
- Violence has surged this year in the West Bank, with 112 Palestinians and six Israelis killed, leaving residents uncertain about the closure's duration after the army initially set it for 12 days.
