The Israeli military has begun demolishing Palestinian buildings in Hebron after two Israeli soldiers were killed in an attack by two Palestinian gunmen at a checkpoint outside the city. Three other soldiers were wounded before the gunmen were shot dead, officials said. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the military would "destroy" the neighborhood the attackers came from and that Israel was ready for "extensive action" in the occupied West Bank. Speaking to CGTN, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert called the attack "a very, of course, terrible event" that Israelis of all political blocs oppose. He said necessary measures must be taken to stop such attacks, but that this "is not going to change the attitude of the voters." Israelis go to the polls next week in the country's general election. #Olmert #Israel #WestBank #Hebron #Netanyahu #IsraelElection #palestine 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For more: https://www.cgtn.com/video Most watched videos: Impossible Challenge: 30 seconds to count banknotes BLINDFOLDED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmP_Ybj-jws Impossible Challenge: Gymnastics Boy Arat Hosseini from Iran! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sxX--U4c8w Impossible Challenge: How to calm babies in 5 seconds? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR3q9sXM7WA
