1. Two Israeli soldiers killed in Hebron shooting; Netanyahu orders lockdown of Hebron as raids hit at least 15 West Bank towns

   A shooting in Hebron in the occupied West Bank killed two Israeli soldiers and wounded three; Netanyahu ordered Hebron and neighbouring Halhul locked down, and the Israeli military said the operation would last 'several days'. Al Jazeera said Israeli forces also raided at least 15 towns in the northern West Bank, including Nablus, Jenin, Tubas and Qalqilya, detaining dozens of Palestinians. The Guardian reported that a three-storey building was demolished with residents given five minutes to leave, after which Israel's Supreme Court issued an interim order halting demolitions.
