Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, ordered the city of Hebron to be under "siege and severe restrictions". This action was announced following the killing of two Palestinians in a militant armed clash with captured Israeli forces in this city.
Mr. Netanyahu also asked the army to prepare for "full movement restrictions" throughout the occupied West Bank.
Israeli captive soldiers shot and killed two Palestinians who were suspected of being involved in a ground attack that injured five Israeli captives in the occupied West Bank.
The released videos show a long armed confrontation between captured Israeli forces and armed Palestinian militants near a military checkpoint, at the northern entrance to the city of Hebron.
It was reported that two of the Israeli prisoners were seriously injured.
The Prime Minister of Israel said that the country's army prevented a "major ground attack" from happening. In recent months, violence between Palestinians and Israeli prisoners has increased.
