Las incursiones diarias y el asedio forzaron el desplazamiento de cientos de familias palestinas.

Israel’s continued incursions into Hebron have displaced nearly 5,000 Palestinians, a form of “collective punishment” that violates international law.

As Netanyahu's hold on power hangs in the balance, there is a mixture of hope and skepticism among Palestinians. 'This is a time for caution, not celebration.' In the past, all Israeli leaders turned out to be essentially the same

Israel's refusal to welcome int'l observers raises red flag. What is going on?

Expanded land seizures, military restrictions, mass displacement, and over 100 new Jewish settlements have transformed an already fragmented territory — and the very fabric of Palestinian life.

IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir said that the West Bank operation had completed its goals, but the prime minister and defense minister refused to allow the more than 2,000 displaced residents to return to their homes

Israel’s intensified military operation in Hebron has forced more than 3,000 Palestinians from their homes three days after it began following the deaths of two Israeli soldiers, according to municipal data and NGOs that described the offensive as collective punishment.

The Hebron municipality updated the number to 3,189 displaced people from an earlier count of 3,170, affecting some 488 families mainly from the Deir Bahha and Al Jalda neighborhoods, according to municipal data. The operation was launched after the two soldiers were killed near a checkpoint last Friday and has left hundreds of residents trapped in their homes while mass arrests reached at least 70 Palestinians.

More than 200 children under two and of early age and about 250 people over 60 were among those affected. With a local state of emergency declared, a crisis group of authorities and citizens set up shelters and temporary accommodation with support from local families.

The offensive included a campaign of mass destruction of homes and the demolition of entire blocks and residential buildings by the Zionist Army, which justified the actions by saying it had destroyed infrastructure built in violation of the law, according to the report. Local sources and agencies such as Wafa denounced that the offensive formed part of a strategy of indiscriminate punishment against urban residents, according to the report.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended continuing the operations and said the Army was preparing for a scale unprecedented since the 1967 Six-Day War. Reports from media such as Ynet revealed disagreements between Netanyahu and Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, who advocated ending the operation because of limited tactical results and the discovery of a small number of weapons.

The United Nations and Palestinian factions such as Hamas strongly condemned the siege.

”Chiediamo la liberazione immediata delle 5 donne che sono state prese dall’esercito israeliano” in Cisgiordania, ”speriamo che possano essere rimandate in Italia nelle prossime ore. È inaccettabile quello che è successo, non stavano commettendo alcun reato”. A parlare è il vice premier e ministro degli Esteri Antonio Tajani che in un punto stampa a Istanbul ha commentato il fermo ieri vicino a Hebron di cinque attiviste italiane da parte dell’esercito israeliano. Il ministero ha poi annunciato che le attiviste rientreranno sabato.

“Non siamo d’accordo. Noi siamo perché il popolo palestinese possa finalmente realizzare il proprio sogno” di uno Stato, “vivendo in pace con Israele che deve avere garantita la propria sicurezza. Ma non è colpendo la popolazione palestinese, soprattutto i pacifici villaggi cristiani, che si risolve il problema della sicurezza di Israele“, ha spiegato poi Antonio Tajani a Istanbul commentando l’annuncio di Netanyahu di una “chiusura totale” della Cisgiordania. “Bisogna disarmare Hamas, bisogna che ci sia stabilità a Gaza, bisogna che i terroristi vengano messi fuori gioco disarmandoli totalmente e questo è un aspetto importante, ma noi non possiamo non riconoscere l’importanza di dar vita ad uno Stato palestinese“.

Ieri la polizia israeliana aveva affermato che alcuni dei fermati sarebbero stati coinvolti nella “promozione del terrorismo” e nell’”esaltazione di attentatori”. L’annuncio era arrivato dopo che la Farnesina ha chiesto chiarimenti urgenti alle autorità israeliane sul fermo delle connazionali, avvenuto mentre accompagnavano agricoltori palestinesi impegnati nella raccolta delle olive. Secondo la polizia israeliana, gli attivisti “hanno violato la legge e si sono nascosti dietro la raccolta delle olive”. Sarebbero entrati “senza coordinamento in una zona militare chiusa”, rifiutando gli ordini delle Forze di difesa israeliane (Idf). Il comunicato riferisce del fermo di undici attivisti stranieri e un palestinese a Hebron, sostenendo che alcuni sarebbero coinvolti anche in “attività di organizzazioni ostili a Israele”.
