The Aporia · Jerusalem Daily: Israel’s siege on Hebron displaces thousands

Story summary

On October 23, 2026, Israeli soldiers shot and killed two Palestinian men near Hebron in the occupied West Bank after they allegedly launched an attack, injuring five others critically. In response, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered security forces to prepare for a full closure of the West Bank starting that day, citing safety concerns ahead of upcoming elections on October 30. The Israeli military also imposed strict curfews and closed several checkpoints in the area.

On October 30, Israel demolished the homes of Ahmad and Hammouda al-Jaabe, the brothers involved in the attack near Hebron a week earlier that killed two Israeli soldiers. This demolition was part of an ongoing operation by Netanyahu's government which has reportedly displaced at least 4,969 people from Hebron since October 23. The United Nations expressed grave concerns over the use of force and potential ethnic cleansing, while Israel defended its actions as necessary for preventing future attacks.

The demolitions and displacement sparked international criticism and raised tensions between Israelis and Palestinians in the region.
