On October 25, 2026, Israel's military announced a lockdown of the West Bank during the upcoming parliamentary elections. This decision follows a deadly shooting attack on October 21 that injured five Israelis, two critically. The military reported that two Palestinian attackers were killed in response. In the wake of these events, around 2,000 Palestinians have been displaced from their homes in Hebron as Israeli forces conduct extensive operations against suspected militants.
