Two Palestinian fighters carried out a shooting attack near the West Bank city of Hebron, injuring five Israelis, including IDF soldiers. Two of the Israelis are in critical condition. The exchange of fire lasted over 20 minutes, and ended with both Palestinians being killed by Israeli soldiers. Israeli media reports that the Palestinian fighters targeted an Israeli reservists' battalion, and may have used the weather conditions to approach unnoticed. IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir claims that the Palestinians were planning a much larger attack in the future. A large quantity of ammunition was reportedly found inside the vehicle used by the gunmen. The entire city of Hebron was subsequently placed under lockdown by Israeli forces, while several surrounding villages and a highway were blocked off.
