- Israel says West Bank operations are expected to last several days.

## Summary

Israeli forces have demolished homes and businesses in Hebron during a crackdown in the occupied West Bank, displacing hundreds of Palestinian families, according to local officials. The operation followed an attack in which two Israeli soldiers were killed, and has also restricted movement for the city’s roughly 200,000 residents.

Officials gave different displacement estimates: the mayor said more than 1,000 people had been displaced and believed 2,500 could be forced from the affected area, while the city’s governor and deputy mayor reported at least 200 families. Israel’s military said it had dozens of targets across the West Bank and expected operations to last several days; it did not immediately respond to the BBC’s request for comment. The demolitions come amid an election campaign and renewed threats of broader military action in the territory.
