Israeli troops demolished a number of Palestinian homes in Hebron that authorities say belonged to people blamed for an attack on soldiers, and detained at least 12 Palestinians who were held near the demolished properties.
The operations took place in neighbourhoods of Hebron, where the demolitions have contributed to a broader displacement crisis. Officials and local sources say nearly 5,000 residents from the affected areas remain displaced.
Troops carried out the demolitions as part of measures linked to the attack on soldiers, with the detained individuals taken into custody near the sites. The immediate condition of those held and the precise number of homes destroyed were not disclosed in detail.
The demolitions and ensuing displacement add to long-standing tensions in the West Bank city of Hebron, where security operations and punitive measures have repeatedly affected civilian populations. Further information on the developments and the status of the displaced families was not immediately available.
