‘A disaster zone’: Hebron is under full Israeli siege, mayor says

According to Hebron Mayor Yousef Jaabari, Israeli forces have placed the city in the occupied West Bank under a full siege by sealing off all entrances. The action follows a deadly shooting on Friday and has resulted in the forced displacement and eviction of approximately 2,200 Palestinians from their homes.

Mayor Jaabari described the current conditions in the city as a disaster zone. The military operations have left residential areas visibly impacted, with residents displaced and homes left empty following the forced evictions carried out by the Israeli army.
