Residents of three neighborhoods in Hebron were permitted to return to their homes this week, ten days after being forcibly removed by the IDF. The eviction, which occurred on the night of Friday, October 23, affected approximately 3,300 people, including hundreds of infants, sick individuals, the elderly, and disabled residents. The IDF's action was reportedly in response to a terror attack carried out by two city residents at a nearby military checkpoint, where two soldiers were killed.
The article describes the eviction as "collective punishment" and notes that such large-scale actions have become routine in Israel without public discussion. The decision was reportedly made under the direction of the Prime Minister and Defense Minister, and executed by the IDF, in a spirit influenced by Itamar Ben-Gvir.
