HEBRON EXODUS: Israeli Forces Displace 1,200 Palestinians After Deadly Attack...

Two thousand Palestinians were displaced from their homes in Hebron on October 24, 2026, after Israeli forces imposed a full lockdown of the occupied West Bank following a shooting attack that killed two Israeli soldiers. The military evacuated residents with loudspeaker announcements at night, giving them little time to gather belongings or find shelter elsewhere. The operation, which included raids across at least 15 West Bank areas and the arrest of around 70 Palestinians, left roughly 800,000 people in Hebron's governorate unable to enter or leave their cities—what Palestinian officials characterized as collective punishment.
