The IDF, the Shin Bet are investigating whether Hamas in Turkey directed the attack at the Yehuda junction near Hebron.

Israeli media reported that the IDF and Shin Bet are investigating an attack on Friday at the Yehuda Junction, near Route 35 in the Hebron area. Security officials increasingly believe that the planners and emissaries acted on behalf of Hamas in Turkey, but are also checking whether the operatives acted under local guidance or on their own initiative. The IDF said it did not have a specific warning, but intelligence indicates that Hamas operatives in Turkey and Gaza tried to carry out attacks ahead of the Israeli elections in order to disrupt the campaign.
