Israel has sealed ten entry points into Hebron, according to Al Jazeera English, creating a military siege that has forced approximately 5,000 Palestinians to flee the city. The blockade has inflicted severe humanitarian and economic damage on the remaining population, cutting off access to essential services and livelihoods.
The analysis documents the scale of the restrictions constraining movement in and out of the West Bank city, where Palestinians face compounded hardship from the comprehensive closure of entrances.
