NewzOn Monday, the United Nations human rights chief raised serious concerns regarding potential ethnic cleansing in connection with an Israeli displacement operation in the occupied West Bank city of Hebron. The UN official warned that Israeli threats to empty and erase entire neighborhoods were driving the forced displacement of Palestinians.
According to the reports, the Israeli operation to displace local residents followed a violent incident on Friday in which two Palestinian gunmen killed two Israeli soldiers at a checkpoint near Hebron. While source snippets note differing figures for the number of displaced Palestinians—citing over 2,000 in one account and more than 3,000 in another—the UN has condemned the operation as a forced displacement of the civilian population.
