## Summary

No newer developments are specified in the added coverage: it recounts an attack near Hebron in which two Palestinian gunmen wounded five Israelis before Israeli forces killed them after a prolonged shootout. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered tighter security in the occupied West Bank, saying troops had prevented a potentially major attack.

Israel’s emergency service said all five injured people were in their 20s, with two in critical condition. The military said the gunmen’s vehicle contained a large quantity of ammunition and reported raids in the Hebron area. Hamas praised the attack without claiming responsibility; the article says there is no evidence linking the Palestinian Authority to it. The incident occurred days before Israel’s election.
