Palestinian sources reported that Israeli occupation forces compelled dozens of citizens to evacuate their homes in the Al-Jaldah and Deir Bahah areas of Hebron early Saturday. Large military forces reportedly raided and surrounded the two neighborhoods before enforcing the evacuations.
This action follows the demolition of a three-apartment residential building in the Farsh Al-Hawa area west of Hebron on Friday. Palestinian sources stated that the area and its main entrance, the sole connection to the bypass road, were subsequently sealed, preventing entry or exit for residents and vehicles. All roads leading to Hebron were also reportedly closed.
Concurrently, the Israeli military and the Shin Bet security agency announced late Friday the commencement of a military operation in the Hebron region, stating its objective is to thwart "terrorist activities." The statement indicated that forces are conducting searches, neutralizing "terrorist infrastructure," seizing weapons, and interrogating dozens of suspects.
Israeli authorities noted that anyone suspected during searches will be handed over for investigation. The operation is concentrated in the area from which the perpetrators of a shooting attack that killed two soldiers originated and is expected to last several days.
