In Hebron, a terrorist attack was carried out by Sheikh Mahmoud Nofal, the imam of the Al-Qasim Mosque and a leader of Hamas in the city, on Ramadan. Nofal fired toward a Jewish settlement from a cemetery, specifically targeting two Jewish children at close range. Fortunately, the children were unharmed as the bullets hit their soccer ball instead. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) responded quickly to the scene and quickly neutralized Nofal before he could cause any fatalities. The incident has triggered a search for potential accomplices, with security forces on high alert for suspected infiltration. The attack has heightened tensions in the area, with the local Jewish community and the congregation of the Al-Qasim Mosque facing the loss of a religious leader and increased safety concerns.
