The Israeli military has launched a large-scale operation in the occupied West Bank, planning mass arrests, home demolitions, and forced displacement of residents. This follows an attack near a checkpoint in Hebron that killed two Israeli soldiers. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered a complete blockade of the West Bank and stated that the Hebron community where the attackers resided will be fundamentally altered. Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem warned that the Israeli government's planned offensive constitutes "collective punishment and acts that may amount to war crimes."
