The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have announced the commencement of a large-scale counter-terrorism operation in the Jabel Johar district of Hebron. According to Operative Information Center-OMM, the mission aims to neutralize immediate security threats and dismantle militant networks within the city.
Israeli media reports indicate that the operation is expected to last several days and involves a coordinated effort between the military, the Shin Bet (Israel's Internal Security Service), and Israel Police units. Official statements emphasize that the primary objectives include the destruction of terrorist infrastructure, the seizure of illegal weaponry, and the strengthening of overall security in the region to prevent future attacks.
Hebron, a major city in the West Bank, has long been a focal point of security operations due to its complex demographic and historical significance. Such large-scale deployments are typically part of a broader strategy to preemptively disrupt militant activities and maintain stability in volatile urban centers. This latest operation follows a series of security assessments aimed at curbing the proliferation of unauthorized arms and ensuring the safety of both local residents and regional personnel.
