Israel demolishes homes in Hebron, displacing over 1,000
Israeli forces demolished buildings in Hebron after Friday's attack that killed two Israeli soldiers. A Palestinian official said about 1,200 people were forced from their homes, and the municipality said 1,300 more may have to leave. The Palestinian Authority called for international pressure, and the UN said it was "extremely alarmed."
Why it matters
Thousands of Palestinians face displacement, and closures across the West Bank restrict movement days before Israel's election.
Background
Two Palestinian gunmen killed two Israeli soldiers at a checkpoint near Hebron on Friday and were shot dead. Prime Minister Netanyahu ordered an operation expected to last several days and closures across the West Bank.
