Netanyahu: Our Forces Prevented Large-Scale Attack in West Bank

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that he directed Israeli security forces to impose a siege on the city of Hebron and close the entire West Bank, following the shooting attack witnessed in the city of Hebron in the southern West Bank.

Netanyahu noted that Israeli forces prevented a large-scale attack from occurring in the West Bank.

This comes after the Israeli army announced that the Chief of Staff directed the reinforcement of forces in the central region and approved the imposition of a comprehensive security cordon on the city of Hebron and additional villages, noting that his forces prevented the execution of an operation described as "much more dangerous than what happened in Hebron."
