The IDF, early Friday morning, surrounded all Palestinian cities in the West Bank immediately after it preemptively struck Iran.

It waited until after the aerial attacks started so as not to tip off the Islamic Republic, but then acted rapidly and forcefully to preemptively cut off any unusual terror attack or invasion attempts.

The IDF Central Command set the entire area on emergency status

Further, the military called up reserves and reinforcements for all fronts and parts of the West Bank.
