EDITORS NOTE: Graphic content / An Israeli soldier aims is weapon as Israeli security forces patrol the area where the houses of the two Palestinian gunmen, who killed two Israeli soldiers and injured three others earlier in the day, are located, in the Israeli-occupied West Bank city of Hebron on October 23, 2026. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened a military operation in the occupied West Bank on a scale unseen in decades after Palestinian gunmen killed two Israeli soldiers on October 23 in an attack near Hebron days before national elections. Israeli forces eventually shot and killed the attackers, with the AFP journalist seeing the gunmen's lifeless bodies on the ground next to a petrol station as troops patrolled all around.
