Israel imposes full closure of occupied West Bank after Hebron shooting kills two soldiers

Israeli forces have raided towns, detaining dozens of Palestinians, hours after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced ordering a full lockdown of the occupied West Bank following an attack in the city of Hebron that killed two Israeli soldiers.

Israeli forces raided at least 15 towns in the northern West Bank, detaining dozens of Palestinians, Al Jazeera correspondents reported on Saturday.

The military raids targeted several northern cities and towns, including Nablus, Jenin, Tubas and Qalqilya.

In Nablus, Israeli forces carried out arrests and raided Palestinian homes in the villages of Jalud and Qaryut. Arrests were also reported in Arrabeh and Burqin, near Jenin, while Israeli forces entered Tubas and the nearby town of Aqqaba.

In the southern occupied West Bank, Israeli bulldozers demolished a three-storey building in Hebron, with families given five minutes to collect their belongings. Israeli forces also ordered hundreds of Palestinian families to forcibly evacuate their homes in the Ein Deir Bahha area of Hebron and its surroundings.

Israeli troops also surrounded the home of one of the suspects in the shooting attack that killed two Israeli soldiers in Hebron, while carrying out raids in the city’s al-Jalda neighbourhood.

The Israeli army said late on Friday that its forces began an operation in Hebron that would last “for several days”, in addition to operations by other forces in “dozens” of areas across the West Bank.

Further east, Israeli forces entered Jericho and the nearby Aqabat Jabr refugee camp.

With the lockdown, nearly 1,000 checkpoints and gates across the West Bank will be closed, affecting millions of Palestinians.

Netanyahu gave the order on Friday, shortly after the Israeli military said it had killed two Palestinian gunmen who attacked a reserve battalion near the Israeli settlement of Telem, killing two soldiers.

Israel’s ambulance service reported that at least three Israeli soldiers were injured in addition to the two who died.

All Israeli settlements, including Telem, are illegal under international law.

The attack and clampdown came amid heightened tensions across the Palestinian territory as Israeli settlers and soldiers engage in violent pogroms . Attacks on olive harvesters have been rife as aggression has been on the rise before the coming Israeli elections on Tuesday.

Far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir responded to the killing of the Israeli soldiers by calling for Israel to take full control of the West Bank, in which the Israeli government is encouraging the construction of numerous settlements.

Mustafa Barghouti, secretary-general of the Palestinian National Initiative political party, said incitement from far-right Israeli ministers is making the situation worse.

The closure turns every city and village into “a small prison”, with checkpoints and gates blocking healthcare, the economy and education, he told Al Jazeera. He warned that collective punishment “will lead to explosions”.

以色列军队对约旦河西岸北部至少 15 个城镇发动袭击，其中包括纳布卢斯和杰宁。

希伯伦枪击事件造成两名士兵死亡后，以色列对被占领的西岸地区实施全面封锁。

在以色列总理内塔尼亚胡宣布下令全面封锁被占领的西岸地区数小时后，以色列军队突袭了多个城镇，拘留了数十名巴勒斯坦人。此前，希伯伦市发生袭击事件，造成两名以色列士兵死亡。

据半岛电视台记者周六报道，以色列军队突袭了约旦河西岸北部至少 15 个城镇，拘留了数十名巴勒斯坦人。

军事袭击的目标是北部几个城市和城镇，包括纳布卢斯、杰宁、图巴斯和盖勒吉利亚。

在纳布卢斯，以色列军队在贾卢德村和卡里尤特村实施逮捕并搜查巴勒斯坦人的房屋。据报道，在杰宁附近的阿拉贝和布尔金也发生了逮捕事件，同时以色列军队进入了图巴斯和附近的阿卡巴镇。

在被占领的约旦河西岸南部，以色列推土机拆毁了希伯伦的一栋三层楼房，并只给了居民五分钟时间收拾行李。以色列军队还命令数百个巴勒斯坦家庭强行撤离他们在希伯伦的艾因代尔巴哈地区及其周边的家园。

在对希伯伦市的贾尔达区进行突袭时，以色列军队还包围了在希伯伦枪击案中造成两名以色列士兵死亡的嫌疑人之一的住所。

以色列军方周五晚间表示，其部队已在希伯伦展开行动，该行动将持续“数天”，此外，其他部队还在西岸“数十个”地区开展行动。

再往东，以色列军队进入杰里科和附近的阿喀巴特贾布尔难民营。

封锁期间，西岸近 1000 个检查站和关卡将关闭，影响数百万巴勒斯坦人。

内塔尼亚胡于周五下达了这一命令，此前不久，以色列军方表示，他们击毙了两名袭击以色列定居点特莱姆附近一个预备役营的巴勒斯坦枪手，造成两名士兵死亡。

以色列救护车服务部门报告称，除两名以色列士兵死亡外，至少还有三名以色列士兵受伤。

所有以色列定居点，包括特莱姆定居点，都违反国际法。

此次袭击和镇压行动正值巴勒斯坦领土局势高度紧张之际，以色列定居者和士兵在该地区进行暴力迫害。随着以色列周二即将举行大选，针对橄榄采摘者的袭击事件频发，侵略行为也日益加剧。

极右翼国家安全部长伊塔马尔·本-格维尔对以色列士兵被杀事件作出回应，呼吁以色列全面控制西岸地区，而以色列政府正在鼓励在西岸地区修建大量定居点。

巴勒斯坦民族倡议党秘书长穆斯塔法·巴尔古提表示，以色列极右翼部长们的煽动使局势更加恶化。

他告诉半岛电视台，封锁将每个城镇乡村变成“一座小型监狱”，检查站和大门阻断了医疗、经济和教育。他警告说，集体惩罚“将导致冲突爆发”。
