Palestinians in Hebron are facing a sweeping Israeli lockdown and military assault, with large-scale demolitions across the city. More than 200 families were forcibly driven from their homes overnight, while “Israeli” forces seized some houses and converted them into military positions.

“Israeli” forces have deployed thousands of soldiers in Hebron and forced hundreds of families to leave their homes and belongings without providing alternative shelter. The displacement coincided with home demolitions.

The assault in Hebron threatens more than buildings, it risks disrupting livelihoods in one of Palestine’s key economic centres.
Hebron is a major centre of Palestinian commerce and manufacturing, with businesses ranging from family-run workshops to larger producers.
Its stone and marble, leather and footwear, plastics, glass, olive-oil, dairy, and gold sectors support jobs and livelihoods across the city.

These measures are part of a recurring “Israeli” policy aimed at undermining the very presence of Palestinians by tightening restrictions on residents, destroying their
property, forcibly displacing them from their homes, and imposing a coercive reality that erodes their fundamental rights.
