Israeli military siege in the West Bank forcibly displaces almost 3,500 Palestinians The local authorities in Hebron (al-Khalil) report that a week-long Israeli military siege forced 3,361 Palestinians from their homes, including 1,425 children. The ongoing siege has completely halted daily life and severely disrupted education, leaving an estimated 262,000 students affected and nearly 2,200 trapped inside besieged areas. The economic damage is rapidly escalating, as hundreds of industrial and commercial facilities face heavy disruption, while several sites in Farsh al-Hawa have suffered severe structural damage, bulldozing or total demolition. In response to the growing crisis, city officials say they are actively coordinating emergency relief efforts and organizing temporary shelter for displaced families.
