Israeli forces launch major West Bank operation after soldiers killed
Israeli forces launched a major operation in Hebron following the death of two soldiers, displacing hundreds of Palestinian families.
Israeli forces launched a major military operation in the West Bank city of Hebron late Friday following an attack that left two Israeli soldiers dead. The Israel Defense Forces and the security agency Shin Bet stated that the operation aims to search the area, dismantle armed infrastructure, seize weapons, and interrogate suspects.
Military forces established extensive blockades across Hebron, with operations expected to continue for several days. Reports indicate that hundreds of Palestinian families—with estimates ranging between 250 and 300 households—have been forced from their homes ahead of planned demolitions, while thousands more face potential displacement. Local residents and Palestinian officials have called for international pressure to stop the displacement. Related raids were also reported in other West Bank locations, including Nablus.
