Israel imposes full lockdown on occupied West Bank
The Israeli army has initiated a full lockdown across the occupied West Bank, launching military operations and sealing all checkpoints and crossings to Palestinians. The comprehensive closure is designed to bring all Palestinian travel to a halt, both between cities within the territory and to any destinations beyond it. This effectively partitions communities and isolates the population.
The military's actions have also involved the direct displacement of residents in the city of Hebron. There, approximately 200 Palestinian families have been forced to leave their homes. This specific measure in Hebron is unfolding as part of the broader security operation that now accompanies the territory-wide lockdown, which affects the entire Palestinian population of the West Bank.
