Israel expands ‘ethnic cleansing’ campaign to Hebron
ISRAELI military operations in Hebron and the neighbouring town of Halhul have reportedly forced Palestinian families from their homes, with demolitions and plans for further displacement prompting warnings of a widening campaign of ethnic cleansing ...
Nearly 2,700 Palestinians were displaced by an Israeli military operation in Hebron, West Bank, following an attack that killed two soldiers, according to the Palestinian Authority. The operation, launched after the attack, saw Israeli forces enter the Ein Deir Baha neighborhood, where the assailants lived, and order residents to evacuate their homes.
Over 2,670 Palestinians, primarily women, children, and the elderly, were forcibly displaced from their homes, according to data from Hebron Municipality. A convoy of Israeli military and police vehicles, along with soldiers, was seen in Hebron on Sunday, blocking civilian traffic on a street. Local shopkeeper Higazi al-Tamimi, who also plays a leadership role in the evacuated neighborhood, recounted being beaten by Israeli soldiers as he attempted to reach his home. He recounted being struck on the legs, chest, shoulders, and head by the soldiers.
