Convoys of ‘Israeli’ military vehicles moved through the streets of Hebron on Friday night, as the military initiated a large-scale operation across the southern West Bank city.
Footage captured in the city shows armed military jeeps and armored vehicles advancing through commercial and residential neighborhoods amidst local traffic and onlookers.
The operation follows an order by ‘Israeli’ authorities to establish a security cordon and seal off access points to Hebron and surrounding towns using roadblocks and checkpoints.
According to statements from the ‘Israeli’ military, the targeted military campaign was launched following a deadly operation earlier in the day near Hebron that left two ‘Israeli’ soldiers dead and several others wounded.
Palestinian sources reported widespread closures, vehicle searches, and heightened movement restrictions across the governorate as operations continued overnight.
