Israeli forces have forcibly displaced at least 537 Palestinian families from their homes in Hebron, with many others trapped and relying on the Red Cross for supplies. Soldiers have been demolishing and vandalising homes, and dozens, including journalists, have been detained. Last week, Israeli settlers installed mobile homes on top of Palestinian shops in the Old City, advancing their goal of taking over the city. Critics suggest prolonging the campaign serves a political and ideological purpose for Israel’s rightwing, including allies of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu like Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
