> Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel is preparing a major military operation in the West Bank, though its timing has not been decided. After a shooting in Hebron killed two Israeli soldiers and two Palestinian attackers, Israeli forces raided the city and nearby villages, demolished a residential building and shut Hebron’s main entrances. The Palestinian foreign ministry condemned the tightened restrictions, warning they could fuel further violence and amount to collective punishment.
