Two coordinated car bomb attacks occurred in the West Bank, with explosions at a gas station in Gush Etzion and near the Karmei Tzur settlement. The attacks, attributed to Palestinian assailants from Hebron, resulted in injuries to at least four Israelis in two separate incidents. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) responded by killing the two attackers. The explosives used in the attacks were reportedly sourced from the same bomb-making lab in Hebron. Following the incidents, Israeli forces have detained six suspects and increased security measures in the area to prevent further attacks.
