Israeli forces have launched a large-scale operation in the West Bank city of Hebron, demolishing homes and businesses and displacing over 200 Palestinian families, according to Palestinian officials. The action comes in response to the killing of two Israeli soldiers by a Palestinian gunman on Friday. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has announced that buildings around the attack site and homes in the gunman's community will be destroyed. The mayor of Hebron suggested the operation might be related to the upcoming general election.
