Israeli Operation Displaces 2,000 Palestinians in Hebron, West Bank

faz.net (German) — October 25, 2026 at 12:02 AM UTC

Around 2,000 Palestinians have been displaced from their homes in Hebron during a major Israeli military operation in the occupied West Bank, with Defense Minister Israel Katz stating they cannot return until issues with Hamas are resolved. The offensive followed a Friday attack near Hebron in which two Palestinian gunmen killed two Israeli soldiers and wounded three others before being shot dead. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a full closure of the West Bank and hinted at a "very big surprise" for the Palestinian Authority, which has urged international intervention. The operation comes three days before Israel's parliamentary election, with security as a central campaign issue. Over 1,110 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since October 2023, according to Palestinian health data cited by AFP.
