Israeli forces turn Hebron homes into military posts amid lockdown

Israeli forces have forced residents from Palestinian homes in Hebron’s Khallat Manna and Dahiyat al-Zaytoun areas and turned the properties into barracks and observation posts, according to the Wafa news agency. The military imposed a lockdown and carried out hundreds of raids after an alleged attack on an Israeli army reserve base killed two soldiers; the two suspects were also killed. The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society says at least 47 Palestinians have been detained and 293 families, or about 2,200 people, displaced since Friday. Meanwhile, Israeli settlers have begun establishing two new outposts on Palestinian-owned land in Yatta, south of Hebron.
