Israel's siege of Hebron has now lasted ten days, with economic losses exceeding $3.8 million as Israeli forces demolish homes across the West Bank and shutter hundreds of businesses, Al Jazeera English reported. The military operation has severely disrupted daily life in the Palestinian city, closing commercial establishments and destroying residential structures.
Israeli officials have threatened to expand the offensive beyond Hebron's current boundaries. The escalating operation represents a deepening of military activity in the occupied territory.
