Troops also raided the Fawwar refugee camp south of Hebron about midnight, searching several Palestinian homes.

The Israeli army carried out raids in other areas across the occupied West Bank, detaining four Palestinians in Tulkarem, the Wafa news agency reported.

Those detained included a journalist and his two brothers, alongside an officer working for the Palestinian General Intelligence Service.

In the town of Beita, south of Nablus, troops fired tear gas at protesters demonstrating against the demolition of two homes belonging to the families of two Palestinian prisoners.

A Palestinian man sustained fractures to his hand after Israeli forces beat him during an attack on the village of Yasid, north of Nablus.

In Burin village, troops raided homes and converted several into military barracks, Wafa reported.

Schools in southern Nablus have been ordered to switch to remote learning to protect students and staff.

The raids come a day after the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) expressed “grave concern” over Israel’s continued incursions into Hebron, which have displaced nearly 5,000 Palestinians, warning that “collective punishment” violates international law.

“A near-total lockdown across large parts of Hebron has severely restricted residents’ freedom of movement and their ability to access critical services,” Roland Friedrich, the director of UNRWA Affairs for the occupied West Bank, said in a post on X.

“These developments bring alarming echoes of the massive displacement witnessed in the northern occupied West Bank in early 2025, where more than 34,000 Palestine refugees from Jenin, Tulkarem and Nur Shams camps remain forcibly displaced over a year later.”

Israel’s campaign follows the killing of two Israeli soldiers by Palestinian gunmen at a checkpoint last week. The gunmen were later killed by Israeli forces.

Palestinian officials have accused Netanyahu and his hard-right government of exploiting the operation to secure settler votes before Tuesday’s elections in Israel.

以色列军队继续入侵希伯伦，对被占领的约旦河西岸最大城市希伯伦的封锁已进入第六天。

据阿纳多卢通讯社报道，以色列军队周三突袭了希伯伦市的几个街区以及整个省份的城镇，并加强了该市入口的限制。

联合国小组指控以色列在西岸实施“灭绝”，在加沙实施种族灭绝（共4份名单，此为第1份）。

午夜时分，军队还突袭了希伯伦以南的法瓦尔难民营，搜查了数户巴勒斯坦人的房屋。

据瓦法通讯社报道，以色列军队在被占领的西岸其他地区展开突袭，在图勒凯尔姆拘留了四名巴勒斯坦人。

被拘留者包括一名记者和他的两个兄弟，以及一名巴勒斯坦总情报局的官员。

就在联合国近东救济工程处（近东救济工程处）对以色列持续入侵希伯伦表示“严重关切”的第二天，以色列发动了突袭。近东救济工程处警告称，“集体惩罚”违反了国际法。以色列的入侵已导致近 5000 名巴勒斯坦人流离失所。

“希伯伦大部分地区几乎完全封锁，严重限制了居民的行动自由和获得关键服务的能力，”联合国近东救济工程处被占领的西岸事务主任罗兰·弗里德里希在 X 网站上发表的一篇文章中写道。

“这些事态发展令人震惊地回想起2025年初在被占领的约旦河西岸北部发生的大规模流离失所事件，一年多过去了，来自杰宁、图勒凯尔姆和努尔沙姆斯难民营的34000多名巴勒斯坦难民仍然被迫流离失所。”

以色列的行动源于上周巴勒斯坦枪手在检查站杀害两名以色列士兵的事件。枪手随后被以色列军队击毙。

巴勒斯坦官员指责内塔尼亚胡及其极右翼政府利用此次行动在以色列周二的选举前争取定居者选票。
