More than 2,000 forced from homes in Hebron amid Israel’s West Bank raids

Israeli raids in the occupied West Bank have forced about 2,200 people from their homes in Hebron, according to Mayor Yousef al-Ja’bari. Israel imposed a full West Bank lockdown after two Israeli soldiers were killed in an attack on a military reserve base; the two Palestinian attackers were also killed. Residents said evacuation orders were announced over loudspeakers late at night, while the Palestinian Authority called for international pressure on Israel to protect Hebron’s residents. Israeli forces also raided at least 15 areas across the West Bank and demolished homes and vehicles in Hebron.
