Israel begins military operation in Hebron, displacing 1,200 Palestinians

The Israeli military displaced around 1,200 Palestinians in Hebron in the occupied West Bank following a shooting attack that killed two Israeli soldiers.

The operation, expected to last several days, involves searching for militants, conducting demolitions, and closing entrances across the West Bank.

The Palestinian Authority denounced the operation as collective punishment, while municipal officials claimed the actions were motivated by upcoming parliamentary elections.
