Israeli forces demolish Hebron neighbourhood
Israeli forces demolished homes in Hebron and displaced hundreds of Palestinian families after two Palestinian gunmen killed two Israeli soldiers at a checkpoint, the BBC and Guardian reported. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to destroy the area. The Guardian described the action as collective punishment, while Israel said it was responding to the attack.
Why it matters
The demolitions expand civilian displacement and risk further escalation in the occupied West Bank ahead of Israel’s election.
