After a shootout Friday near Hebron that left two Israeli soldiers and two Palestinian fighters dead, Israeli forces launched a full-on assault on the city to try to find two additional fighters who were wounded, but escaped.

The troops laid siege to the entire city, forcing residents to remain under house arrest while soldiers took over every part of the city of Hebron, searching for the two wounded fighters.

Soldiers invaded al-Ahli hospital, in violation of international human rights conventions, and searched through patients' rooms looking for the two fighters.

The soldiers harassed patients and doctors, destroying belongings and equipment in their search. All the while, helicopters hovered overhead.

The two Palestinian fighters who were wounded remain at large. All four of the fighters involved in the firefight were identified as members of the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad.
