Israel has imposed widespread closures across the West Bank city of Hebron following attacks by Palestinian gunmen that Israel says killed two soldiers.
Israel imposed widespread closures and displaced residents across Hebron in the West Bank on Saturday following attacks by Palestinian gunmen the previous day that Israel said killed two of its soldiers.
All gates leading in and out of the city became impassable by vehicles. Taxis piled up behind military checkpoints outside Hebron, with Palestinians forced to cross on foot. According to Basma Radio, a crowdsourced Telegram channel Palestinians use to monitor checkpoints, all gates controlling access to the city were blocked to cars.
Palestinian news outlet WAFA reported that Israeli troops forced dozens of residents to evacuate their homes in some neighbourhoods of Hebron and closed all entrances and roads leading into the city. Israel's army did not respond to questions about the Saturday evacuations.
