Resistance fighters have killed at least two Israeli security personnel and injured another in a shooting at a checkpoint in Hebron, as Israel brought reinforcements in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin as part of its ongoing deadly raids.

The shooting took place as the Israeli army continued its deadly assault on Jenin for a fifth consecutive day killing at least 24 Palestinians. Israel has killed more than 500 people as it intensified operations in the West Bank since it launched war on Gaza on October 7. About 410,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza in the past 11 months.
Israeli national emergency service Magen David Adom said on Sunday that a man and a woman were killed and that a third man in his 50s was being transferred to hospital in critical condition following the attack near the Tarqumiyah checkpoint, south of Hebron.
The Maariv newspaper reported that the three casualties were policemen working at the Hebron station who were shot at from a Palestinian car driving past.
“Attacks so far have been centered around the northern West Bank and in the Jordan Valley area and now we see more of them coming from the south of the West Bank,” Al Jazeera’s Niba Ibrahim, reporting from Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, said.
The Israeli army said it was conducting a raid on the Palestinian village of Idhna close to the scene of the shooting.
Akram Natsheh, a journalist in Hebron, told Al Jazeera that Israeli forces have closed off all roads leading in and out of the southern city while drones have been hovering above it.
“There is nothing but tension and apprehension as Israeli forces are coming in and around the entire area – the situation is likely to escalate,” he said.
According to the Palestinian news agency Wafa, six people, including three women, have been arrested in the Hebron area while raids have taken place in nearby Yatta and Halhul.
