According to news from the Palestinian side on the 25th, the Israeli military has been conducting military operations and implementing blockades in the Hebron area of the West Bank since the 23rd, resulting in the demolition and destruction of multiple Palestinian civilian and commercial facilities, causing significant property losses. So far, the military actions have affected hundreds of Palestinian families, with more than 2,000 civilians directly impacted.

Over two thousand Palestinians forcibly displaced

The Palestinian Prime Minister's Office stated that according to data from the Hebron area government, more than 2,670 Palestinians have been forcibly evicted from their homes in Hebron by the Israeli military, the majority of whom are women, children, and the elderly. Some residents were beaten by the Israeli military when they attempted to return home.

Hebron resident: Israeli soldiers began to punch and kick me, hitting my legs, chest, and shoulders, and one even hit my head. Then they pushed me back, and I hurriedly dodged until I reached a safe area. We will not leave or run away, even if it means eating dirt to survive; we will stay on our land.

Israeli military intensifies the establishment of various roadblocks and closed iron gates

In addition to demolishing homes and evicting Palestinian residents, the Israeli military has also intensified the establishment of various roadblocks and closed iron gates, cutting off main roads, which has severely impacted local supply chains and the movement of people. Israeli Jewish settlers have also flattened Palestinian civilian land in the southern Hebron area and set up tents in preparation for establishing a Jewish settlement outpost.

On the 25th, the Hebron area government announced that several cities would establish a 24-hour joint emergency action room, utilizing all available municipal resources to assist those affected by the Israeli military actions. The local government is currently accelerating the drafting of a legal document in preparation for a formal submission to the International Criminal Court.

Israeli military attacks occur in multiple areas of the West Bank

Additionally, according to Palestinian sources, there have been incidents of the Israeli military destroying Palestinian civilian property and attacks by Israeli Jewish settlers in other areas of the West Bank. In a Palestinian village west of Ramallah, the Israeli military used heavy machinery to flatten large areas of land in the village, forcibly uprooting dozens of olive trees that were in the harvest season to construct a road unilaterally planned by Israel leading to a nearby Jewish settlement. In a Palestinian village in Nablus, Israeli Jewish settlers attacked and detained several Palestinians who were picking olives and forcibly transferred them to a nearby Jewish settlement.
