- Israeli forces turned homes in Hebron’s Khallat Manna and Dahiyat al-Zaytoun into barracks and observation posts after forcibly evacuating residents, according to Wafa.
- Israeli military imposed a lockdown in Hebron and conducted hundreds of raids after two armed Palestinian men killed two soldiers at a reserve base, both suspects also dying in the operation.
- Israeli forces detained at least 47 Palestinians in Hebron since Friday and forcibly displaced 293 families—about 2,200 people—including 127 infants and 265 elderly individuals, per the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society.
- Israeli settlers began establishing two new outposts on Palestinian-owned land near Yatta, pitching tents and bringing in excavation machinery to level ground for construction, Wafa reported.
- Israeli forces carried out hundreds of field interrogations in Hebron, subjecting Palestinians to detention and abuse during the ongoing military operation, the Prisoner’s Society said.
Why it matters: The forced displacement of over 2,200 Palestinians—including hundreds of vulnerable individuals—and the conversion of homes into military posts mark a significant escalation in the occupied West Bank. With new settler outposts advancing during a sweeping military operation, the actions deepen humanitarian strain and risk entrenching long-term territorial control ahead of Israel’s upcoming elections.
