Police investigators and forensic teams were dispatched to the scene of a nationalist terror incident in the Hebron area on Thursday, according to reports. Investigators began collecting evidence and gathering testimonies, and the probe was assigned to the inter-organizational headquarters.
Police forensic teams and investigators have been deployed to the scene of a nationalist terror incident in the Hebron area, The Zioneer has learned. The probe has been assigned to an inter-organizational headquarters, and teams are collecting evidence and gathering testimonies.
The incident occurred overnight in the Khirbet Tuba area, located in the Judea Brigade sector. The IDF reported at 11:04 Jerusalem that Israeli civilians set fire to homes and attacked Palestinians, wounding several, including a woman and a girl. Multiple structures were burned. The suspects fled before military forces arrived, and no arrests have been made, the IDF confirmed. The military condemned the incident and called for prosecution.
The Zioneer reported earlier that the Israel Police's Judea and Samaria District entered the area overnight with IDF protection to collect evidence. The current deployment of forensic teams and the assignment of the investigation to an inter-organizational command represents an escalation of the official response.
The Hebron area has been the site of repeated security incidents. As The Zioneer reported on July 8, 2026, IDF forces arrested dozens of terror suspects in Hebron amid indiscriminate gunfire, and on July 27, 2026, soldiers shot and arrested a terrorist in the area.
The details of the attack itself — including the precise type of weapon used, the full extent of injuries, and the identity of the perpetrators — have not yet been officially released. The suspects remain at large.
