Netanyahu orders Hebron operation after attack kills two Israeli soldiers

After two Palestinian gunmen killed two Israeli soldiers and wounded three near Hebron, Israel began searches, imposed restrictions around Hebron and Halhul, and said the operation would last several days. Netanyahu ordered residents of the attackers’ neighbourhood to be evacuated for house-to-house searches; Israel’s military described the operation as targeted and limited, while the Guardian reported that demolitions had begun and Israel’s high court temporarily halted them.

Bottom line — Israel’s parliamentary election is on 27 October, while the scope and duration of the Hebron operation remain unsettled.

Rosneft warns repeated refinery strikes could cause lasting damage

Rosneft executives fear that several more months of war in Ukraine could cause lasting damage to the company, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter. Repeated drone strikes have forced repairs at its refineries, with Ryazan shut for more than half the time since its first attack in May and Tuapse offline since April, according to Bloomberg.

Bottom line — Rosneft operates 12 refineries, accounting for about a third of Russia’s refining capacity.

Zelenskyy offers a ceasefire on the front line, but rejects recognising Russian control

In an ABC News interview, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine was ready to stop the war quickly by freezing fighting along the current contact line. He rejected recognising temporarily occupied Ukrainian territory as Russian and said Russian forces control 19.3% of the country, not the 25% cited in a question. Reuters reports that US election politics and pressure from Donald Trump are complicating Washington’s approach to the war.

Bottom line — Zelenskyy’s offer is a freeze along the contact line, not recognition of Russian sovereignty over occupied territory.
