Israeli forces were forcing Palestinian residents of Hebron in the occupied West Bank to evacuate their homes on foot, according to Quds News Network. Earlier, around 20 Israeli military vehicles stormed the city of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, Al Jazeera reported. The Israeli military said on Friday it had launched a “counterterrorism” operation in the Hebron area after two Israeli soldiers were killed in a gunfight near the city. In a statement, the military said it aims to locate and dismantle what it called “terrorist infrastructure and weapons.” It described the operation as “targeted and limited” to the area, and said it was likely to last several days.
