Three Israelis killed in shooting attack near Hebron amid deadly West Bank raids
three Israeli security personnel have been killed in a shooting at a checkpoint in Hebron, as Israel brought reinforcements in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin as part of its ongoing deadly raids.
Israeli Army Radio is reporting that Israeli forces are currently raiding the nearby Palestinian town of Idna in search of the assailants.
It said the gunmen fired from a distance of one kilometre (0.6 miles) from the checkpoint.
Israel’s far-right national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir turned up at the Tarqumiyah checkpoint shortly after the deadly shooting there.
The shooting took place as the Israeli army continued its deadly assault on Jenin for a fifth consecutive day killing at least 24 Palestinians. Israel has killed more than 500 people as it intensified operations in the West Bank since it launched war on Gaza on October 7. More than 40,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza in the past 11 months.
