Israeli forces displaced around 1,200 Palestinians from their homes in Hebron, West Bank, as part of a military operation following a shooting attack. The operation, which began after two Israeli soldiers were killed, targets areas near a military checkpoint.
The operation, which is expected to continue for several days, involves searches for militants and weapons, as well as demolitions. Palestinian officials criticized the operation as collective punishment, with some residents reporting Israeli soldiers marking homes with a black X.
The displacement comes as Israel blocks entrances to Palestinian cities, restricting movement and raising concerns about the impact on residents. Palestinian authorities called for international attention, citing the severe restrictions and the potential political motivations behind the operation.
