Israel orders closure of occupied West Bank after two suspected attackers killed
After a shooting near Hebron on 23 October 2026, Israel began preparing a full closure of the occupied West Bank. SBS News reported that Israeli soldiers killed two men; AP reported at least five injuries. The order comes shortly before Israel's 27 October parliamentary election and marks the fourth territory-wide closure in a month, according to AP. The restrictions primarily affect Palestinian movement and add pressure to an already volatile security situation.
