- Israeli military continued a massive operation in the occupied West Bank on Sunday, days before Israel’s election, displacing hundreds of Palestinians and imposing major restrictions on their movement.
- Hebron was the site of Friday’s gun attack that killed two Israeli soldiers and wounded three others; the West Bank operation was carried out in response to that attack.
Why it matters: For Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, the operation’s immediate material cost is visible in the hundreds displaced and the major movement restrictions imposed after Friday’s attack in Hebron, which killed two soldiers and wounded three. With the operation underway days before Israel’s election, that disruption falls directly within the election-period context.
