## Summary

Palestinian families returned to damaged homes in Hebron in the occupied West Bank on 2 November after Israeli troops withdrew from neighbourhoods affected by an operation lasting about 10 days. The operation began after two Palestinian gunmen killed two Israeli soldiers at a checkpoint on 23 October; both gunmen were killed. The UN said more than 3,000 people had been displaced. Returning residents found broken belongings and rubble, while local officials reported damage to homes, shops, roads and other infrastructure. The full extent of the destruction remains unclear.

An Israeli military official confirmed the withdrawal and said troops had searched properties, questioned suspects and seized four weapons and other equipment. The military said it had demolished the two gunmen’s homes. Hebron’s municipality reported that 15 homes and other structures were demolished during the operation, and said some movement restrictions remained at the city’s entrances after residents began returning. Palestinian civil defence officials urged people to wait for safety inspections before entering damaged buildings or handling suspicious objects.
