Israel expands expulsions in occupied West Bank to cement control

More than 3,000 Palestinians have been forced from their homes in Hebron as the Israeli army conducts a sweeping military operation and locks down the city. Governor Khaled Dudin reported 3,171 displaced people from 488 families across the governorate, while Mayor Yousef al-Jabari said 3,043 were displaced within the city limits. Launched after two soldiers were killed in a shooting on Friday, the crackdown includes demolitions, raids and blocked roads; at least 71 people have been detained in four days. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed an operation unseen since the 1967 war, amid escalating violence by settlers and soldiers.
