Israeli forces begin demolishing Palestinian buildings in Hebron after two Israeli soldiers shot dead
The soldiers were killed in an attack by two Palestinian gunmen at a checkpoint outside the West Bank city on Friday morning.
The Israeli military has begun demolishing Palestinian buildings in the city of Hebron, after two Israeli soldiers were killed in an attack by two Palestinian gunmen.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the military would "destroy" the neighbourhood where the two attackers came from, and that Israel was ready for "extensive action" in the occupied West Bank.
Three other soldiers were wounded in the attack at a checkpoint outside Hebron, before the gunmen were shot dead, officials say.
Netanyahu also said he had reviewed plans for the largest military operation in the West Bank in decades - though did not say when it could be carried out.
