The mayor of Hebron said Israeli occupation forces have displaced approximately 3,300 residents from their homes and confined about 1,500 others to their neighborhoods, restricting their movement, the Ma'an news agency reported. He did not specify a timeframe for the displacements or provide additional details on the scale of the confinement.
The allegations add to longstanding Palestinian complaints of restrictions on movement and housing access in Hebron, a city in the southern West Bank where Israeli settlers maintain a presence in the Old City.
