Hebron governor says Israeli forces withdraw after 10-day siege

Israeli forces withdrew from Hebron in the occupied West Bank after a 10-day siege, Governor Khaled Dudin announced on Monday. Palestinian security forces took control of the area, and displaced families began returning home. The siege was imposed on October 23 after a shooting attack killed two Israeli soldiers; Israeli forces later killed the two Palestinian attackers. The closure halted school, university, economic and municipal activity, while some returning residents reported damaged homes and missing belongings.
