Two Israeli soldiers killed in Hebron raid
Two Israeli soldiers were killed and three others injured on Friday morning in a shooting attack at the northern entrance to the city of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, carried out by Palestinian militants. The attack resulted in the deaths of the two militants after a more than 20-minute firefight; they were armed and exchanged fire with the Israeli forces, who were inspecting a checkpoint. Initial investigations suggest that the militants were likely planning to target a street used by settlers, but the presence of the checkpoint prompted them to carry out the attack on the security forces at the site. Following the operation, Israeli forces increased security measures in the area amid rising tensions ahead of the Israeli elections scheduled for October 27.
