Al Jazeera reported that Israeli forces raided and surrounded the home of a perpetrator of a previous attack in Hebron, expelling surrounding Palestinian families, including the attacker's relatives. The report noted that Israeli far-right politicians Bezalel Smotrich, Itamar Ben-Gvir, and Netanyahu have used the ongoing military operation as "election fodder" by sharing videos and inflammatory rhetoric to garner voter support, promising Palestinians that they will "face this reality every day."
