newsit.gr (Greek) —

At least 3,000 Palestinians, including 500 families, have been displaced from their homes in Hebron following an Israeli military operation, the city's municipal authority announced Monday. The operation began after two Israeli soldiers were killed in an attack near Hebron on October 23. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu subsequently announced a large-scale "counterterrorism" operation, with troops entering the attackers' neighborhood and ordering residents to leave. The municipal report details 491 displaced families, including 209 children under two and 258 people aged 60 or older. Separately, the Israeli military announced a closure of the occupied West Bank for Tuesday's parliamentary elections.
