Confirmed · Hebron, Palestinian territories ·
After a shooting at the northern entrance of Hebron on the evening of 22 October 2026, Netanyahu says he ordered security forces to close the city of Hebron and prepare a full West Bank lockdown; many outlets relay this statement, and some describe the closure as already ordered and others as being prepared. Reports based on Israeli military accounts say soldiers killed two Palestinians accused of the attack. Reports differ on Israeli casualties: CNN says two Israeli soldiers were killed, while Washington Post says a shooting attributed to Hamas wounded five Israelis at a checkpoint.

Details by origin
Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
