Israeli Operation in Hebron Enters Second Day as Families Forced From Homes

Israeli forces continued to force dozens of Palestinian families to leave their homes in Hebron, in the southern occupied West Bank, as a military operation in the city entered its second day.

The forced evacuations come amid threats to expand the operation and keep it under way for days. Its eventual scope and duration remain unclear.

For families ordered out of their homes, there was no indication of when they would be able to return. Details of where those displaced were sheltering were not available.

The prospect of a broader operation adds to uncertainty for residents, with the forced departures continuing and no clear timetable for an end to the military action.
