The Israeli military continued a large-scale operation in the occupied West Bank on Sunday, displacing hundreds of Palestinians and imposing significant movement restrictions. This action follows a Palestinian shooting attack on Friday that killed two Israeli soldiers and wounded three others near Hebron. The operation is unfolding in the final days before Israel's general election, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu facing pressure to demonstrate a strong security stance.
