Israeli military closes off Hebron after overnight attacks in West Bank

Israeli forces have sealed off the city of Hebron in the occupied West Bank and arrested two people there during a raid, Al Jazeera reports according to the Wafa news agency.

The forces used concrete blocks to close off entrances to the city from the north, south, east and west, according to Wafa.

The closure comes after a night in which two separate bomb attacks targeted the illegal Israeli settlements of Gush Etzion and Karmei Tzur — located to the north of Hebron — and where two Palestinians were shot and killed by Israeli forces, according to Israel’s military.
