IDF removes 2,231 Palestinians from Hebron area homes after soldiers killed in shooting

Situation Overview

On 25 October 2026, the deputy mayor said the IDF forcibly removed 2,231 Palestinians from homes in a West Bank city, following an operation launched after two soldiers were killed in a shooting near the Palestinian city of Hebron. The deputy mayor said the families were taken from their homes during the operation. The Association for Civil Rights in Israel said the forced removals violate international law.
