Israeli forces raid Hebron and expel dozens of families after soldiers were killed

Situation Overview

On 24 October 2026, Israeli forces carried out raids, interrogations and detentions in Hebron, in southern West Bank, a day after a Palestinian attack in which two Israeli soldiers were killed. The Israeli military said the operation aimed to locate and dismantle “terrorist infrastructures” and to confiscate weapons, and reported that it expelled dozens of families from their homes in Hebron. The next concrete step reported is the continuation of raids and detentions in Hebron as part of the stated effort to dismantle terrorist infrastructure and seize weapons.
